Shortcrust pastry from Bake: From Cookies to Casseroles, Fresh from the Oven by Rachel Allen

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    We trialed the sweet version for our mince pies. This was traditional tasting and easy to prepare and work with but in the end we are going with a different recipe. Nothing wrong with this one but it’s not a standout.

    I've made the sweet variation of this recipe for mince pies - works like a dream.
