Homemade Wholemeal Pastry Ingredients

2 cups wholemeal flour

200 grams salted butter

2/3 cup milk

Pastry Method

  1. Put flour into a large bowl.

  2. Add chopped butter

  3. Rub butter through flour so that it resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively use a food processor if you have one.

  4. Add milk a little at a time and stir in until dough is formed.

  5. Roll out on a floured board and use as both the bottom and top of the pie.
