How to Roll Shortcrust Pastry
How to Roll Shortcrust Pastry
- For best results when rolling out shortcrust pastry use a large, clean dry area of the work surface and lightly dust it with plain flour.
- Place pastry dough on surface and lightly dust it and the rolling pin with flour.
- Roll pastry firmly, always rolling away from you, give the dough 2-3 rolls.
- Then turn the dough a quarter turn.
- Dust again if necessary and continue rolling out, frequently turning the pastry so it is not always rolled in the same direction as this causes shrinkage.
- When the pastry has increased in size, pick it up to turn/ line the tin by rolling it round the rolling pin.
- Lift the pin with the pastry around it carefully and turn it to lay out and continue rolling. Again this is done to prevent the pastry from stretching as you lift it which in turn would result in shrinkage in baking. Shortcrust pastry should be rolled out to approx. 3-5 mm. depth.
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted) / Gas Mark 4.
- Roll the pastry out and egg wash all over.
- Sprinkle the pastry with the chocolate pistoles and half the orange zest.
- Fold the pastry in half and roll out slightly.
- Egg wash again and sprinkle over the remaining orange zest.
- Cut the pastry into finger width lengths and twist each from the middle outwards.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
