Oil Pastry RecipeOrigin: Britain Period: Traditional |
|
This is basically a variation of shortcrust pastry, using oil rather than butter. Typically vegetable oil is used and this is more suited to savoury rather than sweet dishes. However, you can vary the oil for the type of dish. For example, grape seed oil can be used for sweet dishes, Groundnut oil can be used with spicy dishes and olive oil with cheese-based dishes One note, unlike standard shortcrust pastry oil pastry does not keep and must be used straight away. However, the recipe is an excellent stand-by if you have no butter or margarine to hand. Ingredients:
40ml vegetable oil (or flavoured oil) 
Oil Pastry Preparation:Method:Add the oil and 1 tbsp cold water to a bowl. Whisk to combine into an emulsion. Meanwhile sift together the flour and salt then gradually add to the oil emulsion until you have a firm dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll out large enough to cover the base of a 20cm pie dish. |
