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 200ºC (180ºC fan assisted) 400ºF/Gas M 6.
- Roll out pastry large enough to form a 35cm disc and lay on a baking sheet. Brush all round edges lightly with water and fold over 2-3cm all round to form an edge.
- Combine the apple slices with juice, sugar and ground almonds and place on tart base. Scatter with flaked almonds and bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and apples just cooked.
- Scatter with lemon zest and if desired a few mint leaves before serving.
