Ingredients

  • 200 g Loprofin Mix
  • 100 g butter
  • 50 g caster sugar (for sweet pastry)
  • Salt and pepper (for savoury pastry)
  • Cold water to mix

Method

  • Place the Loprofin Mix in a large bowl, cut the margarine into small pieces and, using your fingertips, rub into the Loprofin Mix until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Mix in the sugar or seasoning, depending on whether you are making sweet or savoury pastry.
  • Stir in sufficient water to give a firm, manageable dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet of greaseproof paper and lightly knead the dough for 30 seconds, until smooth
  • Roll out the dough between two sheets of greaseproof paper.
  • The dough is now ready to use as required. This recipe is enough for 1 large tart or 12 individual tartlets. Leftovers should be wrapped in clingfilm and stored in the fridge for 1 day or in the freezer for 3 months.
