Pie Pastry
For convenience I usually use ready-made pastry (dough) for my pies, but here is a recipe for a delicious pastry which can be used for both sweet and savoury pies. It’s a version of the classic French “Paté Brisée” and has a light texture.

Titli's Tips
There are some key things to remember when making pastry:
1. The ingredients must all be at room temperature before you start to make the pastry.
2. The total mixing time should be no more than 5 minutes. This is why a food processor helps.
3. The pastry needs time to relax once it is prepared. If you use it too quickly it will shrink when you cook it.
