Gluten Free shortcrust Pastry

We’ve tried various shortcrust pastry recipes over the years with varying degrees of success. This has to be the best so far.

The flour mix makes 1kg, so you won’t need all of it unless you are cooking of 20 folk. But it will keep well in a sealed box.

Heart shaped Cottage Pies

We only had about 250g of minced Beef left from the Brunch Burgers we made as a bit of a joke on Friday. But that’s not an issue. We fished the heart shaped pie formers out of the draw and made mini Cottage Pies.

As a side we had the very red looking Red Cabbage. We’ve discovered that we actually prefer it as a veg just acidified with a bit of Vinegar and sprinkled with Salt and Pepper, but not boiled. The crunch and acidity work really well with mince dishes which otherwise have a very soft texture.

Served with Carrot, peas and lashings of gravy (Added after I tokk the picture) this was a hearty (Pun intended) meal.
