Ingredients**

  • 200g Loprofin Mix
  • 50g cold butter cut into cubes
  • 50g cold hard white fat cut into cubes
  • 2 tsp Loprofin Egg Replacer
  • Ice cold water

Method

  1. Place the Loprofin Mix and Loprofin Egg Replacer in a bowl.
  2. Rub the fats into the Loprofin mix until it looks like breadcrumbs.
  3. Add iced water to the mixture 1 tbsp at a time until the pastry forms a soft dough (the feel of playdough).
  4. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
  5. Roll out the pastry to the size needed.

Chef tips

  • When rolling the pastry out, roll between 2 sheets of baking parchment as this will stop it from sticking and making a mess.
  • We use this pastry for jam tarts, lemon meringue tart, mince pies, quiches, flans and custard tarts.
