    This was the fastest and easiest pastry ever. Did not crumble when cut either. Tasted good as well. The onle thing that I would do next time is omit the salt and put sugar in its place. I was making a Apricot pie.

    Does this need blind baking for a regular pie? I've seen comments about it needing to be blind baked for a quiche. Thanks tmrc_emoticons.)

    If I double the ingredients do I increase time ?speed?Smile

    Amazing! I made this with GF plain flour and used it in the pie maker to make gluten free creamy leek and chicken pies...delicious! Next time I'll make a double batch. So darn good. Thanks for sharing 😊

    Made the pastry today, very happy with the result, as I was making apple pie, I add some sugar and also custard powder for colour.

    Brilliant. So easy in a Thermomixer. Never buying frozen sheets again!

    WOW. This takes me back to the early 70's when I'd be watching my mother cook, no Thermomix back then tmrc_emoticons.) She said rule of thumb for good pastry is 1/2 shortening to flour. Exactly what your recipe states. Seems like some things never change and it works every time.
    Thank you for sharing your recipe & taking me down memory lane.

    Really good, made in TM5 on a houseboat with minimal utensils & a slightly dodgy oven. Used a bbq foil tray for apple pie. Ripper mate! Then made the next day like a biscuit, brushed with a bit of butter, sprinkled brown sugar over. Everyone loved it. This is in my collection, thanks for posting. Smile
