This was given to me by my aunt, a prolific baker. I've used it for years, in savoury and sweet pies and it is always great. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
2 teaspoons sugar |
Directions:
1. Simply mix together the ingredients and press into a pie dish.
2. If you are going to use a raw filling to bake later, pre-bake the pastry shell for 10 minutes at 180°C.
3. To use with cooked fillings or for unbaked pies, pre-bake the pastry shell for 30 minutes at 180°C.
4. For a savoury pie, omit the sugar and add 2 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese and a pinch of nutmeg.
5. For extra flavour, add 2 tablespoons grated coconut to the pastry mixture.
