Wholemeal Pastry

Makes This quantity is sufficient for the pastry base and top of a 20cm/8” pie dish

The best pastry is thrown together quickly and rolled or pressed into the baking dish for fillings to be added such as those suggested below. Pastry trimmings, a ball of unused pastry dough or a pastry lined dish will freeze well for use at a later date.

Ingredients

Change Quantities:
  1. Put the flour and butter into a large bowl.
  2. Using a pastry blender or fork, mash the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Sprinkle the water over the flour and stir to bring together a ball of dough. If it does not do this easily add a few more drops of water. Cover the dough and leave it to stand for 15 minutes.
  4. To make a pie, put two thirds of the dough onto a floured surface, or between two pieces of non-stick film or paper. Roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin and lift it into your prepared dish. Alternatively press the pastry into a baking dish using your fingers.
  5. Fill your pie according to your recipe.
  6. Roll the remaining third of pastry into a 20cm/8” circle, moisten the edges and lift it over your filled pie.
  7. Press the edges together and cut away any pastry hanging over the edge of your dish.
  8. Make a few cuts in the top of the pastry and bake according to your recipe.
