Making pies in your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4

What type of pastry can be used?

There is a wide selection of ready rolled pastry available in your supermarket freezer, such as shortcrust, puff, butter puff and wholemeal pastry. These pastries give great results and are handy to keep in your freezer.

We recommend using Puff Pastry for the top combined with a Shortcrust Pastry for the base.

However, shortcrust pastry or puff pastry can be used for both the tops and bases of your pies.

For a light and more buttery taste, use butter puff pastry for your pastry top, combined with a shortcrust pastry for your base. This combination is ideal for desserts. Homemade pastry can also be used.

Preheat the Pie Magic 4 for 5 minutes, and defrost your frozen ready rolled pastry while preparing your pies.

Cutting the pastry.

Use the special pie cutter provided to cut the pastry tops and bases for your pies. The small cutter is for the top and the large cutter is for the base. See Figure 1.

To cut your pastry pieces, position the cutter on a flat sheet of pastry and cut by pressing down into the pastry. Ensure the cut is smooth around the edges.

Note: For best results, frozen pastry should be used as soon as it is thawed.
