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
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4
- Zest & juice the orange over the sultanas and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
- Roast the red onion, aubergine & sweet potato for 30 minutes in the pre-heated oven.
- Turn the oven down to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3.
- Roll out the pastry into a 12” x 6” rectangle, 5mm thick, and place onto a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the vegetable mix, cooked lamb, orange soaked sultanas and Moroccan spice over the pastry.
- Season and bake for 45 minutes.
- Allow to stand before serving.
