Hi folks,

I have messed around with pastries, used packet stuff and wasn't
terribly impressed by any of it. But experimented with the food
processor, and bingo, it worked. The kids loved it and I thought it was
allright too. I have heard so many people grumble about not having
pastry.

FOOD PROCESSOR GF PASTRY

Do you have a food processor? Because that makes this so easy and
because you handle the pasty less, the pastry is much easier to handle.

3/4 cup white rice flour (the fine white rice, not the heavier one) It
is in the asian section at the supermarket.

1/2 cup white corn flour

1/2 tsp xanthum gum? I stuck it in because I didn't know if pastry needs
it or not. It worked anyway.

Bung these in and whiz them to mix them.

Add 4 oz marg, whizz around till bread crumbs texture

Add two slightly beaten eggs combined with a tsp lemon juice or vinegar
(either of these adds elasticity) and one tablespoon water.

Wizz till just forming a ball.

Take out, it is still sticky, but use rice flour and knead lightly to
form ball, wrap in plastic and put in fridge for half an hour.

To roll out, use rice flour on your rolling pin, handle as lightly as
you can, roll out half of it, but only half roll it, flip it over with
more rice flour and finish rolling it out. This stops it sticking. As
long as You don't press hard, it doesn't squash and stick.

Makes a lovely fairly thin, good tasting pastry. The kids loved it, and
I thought it was allright too. I also added cheese in the making to make
it a little more interesting. Guess you can add what you like.

If you want sweet pastry, just add a tablespoon caster sugar and some
vanilla.

Hope it helps, good luck. Cheers Tracy
