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
- Method: Preheat oven to 200°C / 180°C for fan assisted/ Gas M. 6
- Unroll sheet and cut out 12 discs using a cookie cutter then transfer to jam tart.
- Spoon on the mincemeat.
- Beat the egg and sugar, and then stir in the butter and the ground almonds. Pour the mixture and scatter with a few flaked almonds.
- Bake for 15 – 18 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Serve warm with brandy or Amaretto butter.
* If preferred use a Jus Rol™ All Butter Shortcrust sheet.
