BASIC WHOLEMEAL PASTRY FOR PIES AND FLANS
1 Cup wholemeal flour
1 C porridge oats
!/2 t salt
Mix these together in a basin. Then place in a mug -
1/4 C sunflower oil (light flavour oil)
1/2 C very hot water
Whip these together with a fork.
Stir the two sets of ingredients together only enough to moisten all the ingredients.
For a pie shape into two balls, one slightly smaller than the other for the lid.
NOTE: For easy and clean rolling out. (this is a very soft pastry)
Tear off a piece of cling film, moisten the work surface with a damp cloth and smooth out the cling film onto it. Place the dough ball on it and cover with another layer of cling film. Roll out the pastry between the cling film sheets. When ready, remove the top sheet, place the pie dish over the pastry and invert keeping the bottom layer of clingfilm in place. When moulded into shape, peel off the layer of clingfilm. This is so easy and so clean—no more sticky hands in the pastry!
