  • Extra GF flour for dusting

Method 

  1. In a large bowl, combine pastry flour, margarine and water. Mix by hand to form elastic dough.
  2. Dust your bench with gluten free flour and gently knead the dough to a smooth consistency.
  3. Roll the dough into a 4mm thick sheet and cut circles to fit the pie or tart tin you’re using.
  • For pies add desired fillings, top and bake for 19-24 minutes
  • For Tarts or Quiches blind bake for 12-14 minutes at 180°C (fan forced).

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.
