Pastry
click on the link to go to the recipes listed:
Short crust pastry; suet pastry; hot water pastry
N.B. Quantities of pastry are expressed as quantity of flour used, e.g. 225 g (8 oz) Shortcrust Pastry is the amount of pastry made using 225 g (8 oz) flour and not the total of ingredients. The weight of the fats used should total half the weight of the flour.
The main Pastries I make are short crust, a sweet short crust, Suet, and hot water pastry. There are adaptations like adding cheese to the short crust for apple pies and herbs to any of the above savoury pastries for other pies and quiches.
