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 your oven to 180 C (160°C for fan assisted ovens) Gas Mark 4
- Using a 7cm cookie cutter cut the pastry into 10-12 circles.
- Place half of the circles onto a lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
- Place a lolly stick in the centre of the circles and press it lightly into the pastry.
- Combine the chocolate chunks and mincemeat and place a teaspoon of the mixture into the centre of the pastry circles.
- Using a star shaped cutter cut the remaining circles and place on top of the bases.
- Seal the edges and brush the tops with water and sprinkle with caster sugar.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the oven until golden and crisp.
