  3. Roll the dough into a 4mm thick sheet and cut circles to fit the pie or tart tin you’re using.

We’ve had customers provide some fantastic feedback on this shortcrust pastry. You can create a delicious apple tart that is an amazing dessert served with a creamy scoop of homemade ice cream. For school lunches, make mini quiches on the weekend and avoid the mid-week rush of making lunches.

Expert Tip

Use cold margarine straight from the fridge; it’s easier to work with and will result in a lighter and flakier crust.
