FAQS
Yes! Homemade pastry needs to be blind-baked before adding the fillings.
Absolutely.
I personally prefer cream as it gives a richer, creamier texture. However, milk is also find to use (full cream milk is best).

Hi Ladies, just wondering what you do with the 2nd sheet of pastry, or do they overlap each other?

Michelle says
This was delicious and so quick and easy too (but i cheated and used store bought puff pastry!) Will definitely make again and try different ingredients.
Lucy Mathieson says
Perfect!!
Maggie says
I made this recipe today and followed the instructions. If you roll the pastry out to 2.5 cm as it says it will not cook. Roll it out thin.
Pretty sure I interpreted it right...
Half a recipe of the olive oil pastry would make more sense, not one.
It was delicious though, but my pastry is raw, thick and chewy ?
Lucy says
Hi Maggie, as per the recipe, we suggest rolling it out to 1.5cm not 2.5cm.
We do agree that there is often a bit of leftover pastry remaining. 🙂
