POTATO PASTRY DOUGH



Potato Pastry Dough image

Adapted slightly from Vicki's Vegan Kitchen (Square One (2011)). This is a super tender, but easy to work with pastry dough that can be modified for savoury tarts by simply removing the sugar and nutmeg. This recipe is best suited for bottom crusts, but rolled thinly it can be used as a topper too. This is also delicious made with sweet potatoes, especially for apple pie.

POTATO PASTRY



Potato Pastry image

Taken from a Victory Cookbook - Nostalgic Food and Facts From 1940 - 1954 - Chapter quotes 'We found it was much more difficult to make puddings than it had been in the past, but with a little imagination we managed to conjure up appetising ends to the meal. We made good use of seasonal fruits and when cooking these sweetened the fruit with saccharin to save sugar, the crushed tablets were always added to the fruit after it was cooked.this is pastry that should be used a great deal as it helps to lighten the flour and makes our rations of fat go much further.

WOOLTON PIE



Woolton Pie image

Woolton Pie was created by a chef at the London Savoy during World War II. It was designed to be filling while predominantly using vegetables from the garden (which were obviously unrationed). This is the traditional wartime recipe and rather bland by modern taste. Feel free to spice it up with modern day condiments, herbs and seasonings. You can also alter the vegetables to suit your personal tastes. Enjoy, keep calm, and carry on!

  • Spam. It was a British tradition that the main meal of the day contained “one meat and two veg.” The wartime population tried to follow this as closely as possible, but meat quickly became hard to find.
  • Kraft Mac & Cheese. Kraft Mac & Cheese (aka Kraft Dinner) is a staple of the North American diet today. Whether that’s a good thing or not is your own opinion.
  • Powdered Egg. Chickens were difficult to keep during wartime, so the average Brit was only allowed a single egg a week as part of his ration. (Vegetarians received more eggs, but they got no meat allowance.)
  • Carrots. Carrots received a lot of attention from the British government during the war. At the time, it was common knowledge in both Britain and Germany that carrots were good for your eye health.
  • Eggless Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is the most popular condiment in the U.S., appearing on tables more than any other sauce—including tomato ketchup. It is the savior of bland cheese sandwiches and green salads as well as the base for more exciting sauces, like tartar sauce.
  • Dripping. During the war, Europe and America suffered a fat shortage. This might sound like a good thing, but it was a huge problem when people were already struggling to get enough fat and calories.
  • National Loaf. In Britain, most bread at the time was made with Canadian wheat, which had to be shipped across the Atlantic. This wheat took up cargo space that could have been used for more important things, like munitions.
  • Fanta. Fanta is one of the world’s most popular sodas, beloved for its orange flavor and its colorful, happy style. Coca-Cola made this version in Italy in 1955, and it quickly became popular across Europe.
  • War Cake. Continuing with another sweet dish—people do love their desserts—that developed from rationing. Without ingredients like sugar, eggs, and milk, what was the home baker to do?
  • Potato Pastry. We all like to indulge our sweet tooth from time to time, and wartime folks were no different. There was a problem, though. To make the sweet things they liked to eat—pies, cakes, and such—they needed butter, eggs, and flour.
