Shortcrust pastry for savory pies
Description
Homemade baked treats for tea. You can experiment with this dough by combining different types of flour. For a vegetarian version, replace eggs with baking powder and use vegetable oil instead of butter. Add a bit of sugar to the dough for sweet baked goods. This dough makes excellent cookies and shortcrust cases for both sweet and savory fillings. Try and experiment! Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
