Homemade Shortcrust Pastry
Ingredients
170g plain flour
85g butter (cubed)
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp cold water
Method
• Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, add the butter and, using your
hands, rub the flour and butter together.
• Add the water and work the dough with your hands. Gently pack it together.
• Press the dough roughly into the shape you want to roll it out to, wrap it in cling
film and leave it in the fridge for at least half an hour before use.
Variations
• For savoury, herbed shortcrust pastry, add 1 tbsp of finely chopped fresh herbs
or 1 tsp of dried herbs to the flour.
• For spiced shortcrust pastry, add 1 tsp of ground spice (such as cinnamon or
ginger) to the flour.
Designed for quick and easy use on the benchtop, this Pie Maker will help you
bake family sized pies without much fuss. You can use it with store bought or
homemade pastry, and with any fruit or savoury filling. So get baking and enjoy
your pie! Use your own favourite recipes, or try our suggestions below.
Many of the pie filling recipes on the following pages are enough for two family
sized pies. So why not make two pies and freeze one? A frozen pie can be
reheated in the Pie Maker in approximately 30 minutes, or in 10-15 minutes if
defrosted. If you intend to freeze a cooked pie, do not let the crust brown too
much, let the pie cool completely and place it in a freezer bag for freezing.
For all the recipe suggestions in this section:
• Prepare your pie crusts and place the base in the pie mould. (We suggest
shortcrust pastry for the base and puff pastry for the top.)
• Spoon the cooled filling into the mould until 3/4 full (about 2 level cups).
• Place the pie top on the filling, close the lid and lock the handles.
• Cook your pie until golden brown. This will take between 10 and 20 minutes,
depending on the desired level of browning and the filling – stewed fruit fillings
generally take a little less time than meat-based fillings.
• When the pie is cooked to your liking,
unplug the Pie Maker from the wall
outlet. Carefully remove the pie from the mould by using a non-metallic
(silicone, nylon or wooden) spatula.
