YUMMY PASTRY FOR PIES
200 gram unsalted butter (cold and cut in little cubes)
350 cake flour
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon salt (if you use salted butter you don’t need this)Cake flour and salt in a bowl. Add butter cubes and rub it into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs.
Mix egg with milk in a cup and pour into flour mixture. Kneed a dough ball and wrap in plastic to chill for 20 min in fridge.
NOTE: The pastry is perfect for a jam tart. For one pie I used pear out of a tin and mixed berry jam. The jam bubbled over the crust which makes it very tasty.
So if you bake an apple pie just rub apricot jam on the pastry before popping it in the oven. Baie lekker.
