Jus Rol Shortcrust Pastry

Directions For Use Ensure the pastry is thoroughly defrosted before use. 1. Remove required amount of blocks from outer packaging and defrost at room temperature for at least 2&½ hours before use. Alternatively, defrost overnight in a refrigerator and then stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before use. 2. After defrosting the pastry should be cool and flexible. 3. Cut the block into 2 2. Lightly flour both the work surface and the pastry. Roll out each piece to the desired thickness (about 3 - 4mm is recommended). Allow the sheet to stand for 5 minutes to help reduce shrinkage. If the pastry is difficult to roll out it may still be too cold and must be left to defrost longer. 4. Bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC/400ºF/Gas Mark 6 or at the temperature required by your recipe. For best results for hand rolling cut the block into 2 2 and roll out each separately. Each half rolls to approximately 50cm x38cm. Alternatively the whole block can be rolled down to a sheet of approximately 70cm x 50cm. If you have mechanical rolling equipment the sheet will roll down to approximately 120cm x 30cm. As a guide, depending on the size of sheet used and its final thickness, each block will yield the approximate quantities of pastry items listed below. Storage Instructions KEEP FROZEN AT -18°C. DO 0T REFREEZE ONCE DEFROSTED. ONCE DEFROSTED USE WITHIN 24 HOURS.
