Steps of making pastry

Puff pastry laid out ready for toppingMaking pastry from scratch really scares some people, which is funny when you realize that many of them probably use the expression "easy as pie" and never make the connection. These instructions are for what's called a rough puff pastry. It's just as impressive-looking and wonderful-tasting as "real" puff pastry, just a whole lot easier. It only takes about 15 minutes of actual work time, but you'll need another hour for it to chill.

Dishes using pastry

Delicious pastry is the order of the day in this programme. Jamie shows us how to make a simple, short crust pastry that is versatile for sweet or savoury dishes. Using his savoury pastry, he picks some beautiful nettles from the garden for a delicious Italian Ham, Nettle and Spinach Tart. The heights of puff pastry are explored next as Jamie makes the most scrumptious Steak, Guinness & Cheese Pie. Using his stored apples, Jamie also makes a mouth-watering, traditional Blackberry & Apple Pie.
