Chefs Tip

This pastry can be re-rolled.

Keep a bowl of cold water on your work surface. Plunge your hands into the cold water if your hands are getting warm.

This pastry has a much lighter bake then traditional pastry, to add colour and depth to your pastry try sprinkling sweet pies with demerara sugar and savoury pies with poppy seeds, caraway seeds or sesame seeds.
