EASIEST NO-ROLL PIE CRUST... PAT IN THE PAN

Steps:

• 1. In small bowl whisk oil and milk gently until cloudy, set aside.
• 2. In a 9-inch pie pan (glass is best*) combine the full cup flour with the salt/sugar, stirring with fork until well blended. Make a well (space) in the center and pour oil/milk mixture in it. Use fork to combine all ingredients just until dry ingredients are no longer dry and mixture is spreadable. Dip fingers in flour and use fingers to pat around evenly in pie pan. *By using a glass pan you can hold it up to the light and see where the thicker parts are and spread it around evenly. It is a light, soft dough and easy to spread. Use fork tines to score rim and poke around the pieshell to prevent bubbling. Bake in a 400 preheated oven until edges are brown, about 10 to 15 min. Keep an eye on it using fork to poke down any bubbling.
• 3. This is best for a pre-baked single shell pie such as for lemon meringue. Can be used raw and filled with fruit in a standard recipe but for the top crust you will have to use a traditional rolled crust recipe.

UNBELIEVABLY EASY MINCE PIES

Steps:

• To make the pastry, rub the butter into the flour, then mix in the golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt.
• Combine the pastry into a ball - don't add liquid - and knead it briefly. The dough will be fairly firm, like shortbread dough. You can use the dough immediately, or chill for later.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 18 holes of two 12-hole patty tins, by pressing small walnut-sized balls of pastry into each hole.
• Spoon the mincemeat into the pies. Take slightly smaller balls of pastry than before and pat them out between your hands to make round lids, big enough to cover the pies.
• Top the pies with their lids, pressing the edges gently together to seal - you don't need to seal them with milk or egg as they will stick on their own. Will keep frozen for up to one month.
• Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg. Bake for 20 mins until golden. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then remove to a wire rack. To serve, lightly dust with the icing sugar. Will keep for three to four days in an airtight container.
