Pre-heat the oven.
Rub a little butter around the inside of your dish or tin.
Put the flour into a mixing bowl.
Chop the butter into small cubes and add them to the bowl.
Using a pastry blender or fork, mash the butter cubes into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in enough of the water to bring the pastry together into a soft dough.
Cover the dough and leave it to stand for 15 minutes.
Dust the work surface with flour, put the dough in the middle and sprinkle it with flour.
Roll out the pastry into a circle 5cm/2” larger than your dish and lift it into the dish, OR simply press the pastry into the baking dish using your fingers.
Cut away any pastry that hangs over the edge of your dish.
Continue as per your recipe.

This dough worked perfectly for us when using it for just the top lid of a chicken pot pie in a skillet. So buttery and good texture. Using this recipe every time for the future. Thanks !

I have used different brands of wholemeal flour over the years especially for breadmaking. The quality and result vary. Doves produce the best texture and indeed flavour whatever you are cooking.

Hi just wondered how long the wholemeal pastry keeps in the fridge before cooking?
