Making pies in your Sunbeam Pie Magic continued

Using left-over pastry.

Make more pies, garnishes and decorations with the left-over pastry.

Lightly knead the left-over pieces into a ball and roll out to approximately 3mm thick.

Hint: It is easier to roll pastry between 2 sheets of grease proof paper.

To make garnishes and decorations, cut the pastry into any shape, such as leaves.

Place the shape on the pastry top before closing the lid.

Note: It is recommended that only shortcrust ready rolled pastry be re-rolled. Also,

keep the pastry covered to prevent drying and cracking.

Pre-cutting pastry.

Pastry can be pre-cut and stored in the freezer so that anyone can make pies at their convenience. After cutting up the pastry, separate each piece with a layer of plastic. Cover completely with plastic and return to the freezer.

Using bread.

Bread can be used as a substitute for pastry. The best results are achieved using sandwich bread. Avoid using toast style bread as it is too thick.

Cut the pie tops and bases using the cutter and trim the crusts.

Spread one side of the bread with butter or margarine. Make the pies as previously instructed, with the buttered side of the bread on the outside to prevent sticking. Cook for 6 minutes.

Hint: Avoid using liquid fillings as they tend to make the bread soggy.

Note: When using a non-pastry base in your pie maker it will be necessary to season the plates with a little oil, butter or margarine each time to prevent sticking.
