Questions about Pastry
How do you stop pastry shrinking in the oven?
Keep the dough cool, handle it as little as possible and don’t pull it to fit the tin. After lining the tin, chill it for about 30 minutes before baking.
How do you blind bake pastry for a tart?
Line the pastry with baking paper and fill it with baking beans or dry rice. Bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes, remove the weights and paper, then bake for another 5–10 minutes until the base looks dry.
Can you use shortcrust pastry instead of puff pastry?
Usually, but the result will be different: shortcrust makes a firm, crumbly base, while puff pastry rises into crisp layers. Use shortcrust for quiches and many tarts; choose puff pastry for sausage rolls or a flaky pie lid.
How should you store uncooked pastry?
Wrap it well and refrigerate it for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze it; thaw it in the fridge before rolling so it stays cool and is less likely to crack.
What can you make with pastry?
Shortcrust pastry works well for quiche, fruit tarts and savoury pies. Puff pastry is a good choice for sausage rolls, turnovers and a crisp pie topping.
Is it safe to eat raw pastry?
It’s best not to eat raw pastry dough: it may contain uncooked flour and, in some recipes, raw egg. Bake it fully before eating.
