The perfect pastry

Ever dreamed of having the perfect crumbly sweet pastry but can't as you are gluten free, vegan or both?  Hate the horrible rubbery texture created from other recipes?  Here is your answer.  Delicious, light, crumbly sweet pastry that is entirely gluten free and vegan.  Tesco have mincemeat reduced to 30p so fill your boots people.  Embrace summer xmas !!!!!

Vegan gluten free sweet pastry

ingredients

100gm doves farm gluten free plain flour

50gm ground almonds

50gm sugar

75gm sainsburys free from spread

Now first and foremost the most important part, use a food processor.  It blends it into the perfect pastry without having to add much water.  Mix the flour, almonds and sugar together and put in your food processor.  Add the spread and blend on high until it has almost formed a lump.  Add a tiny bit of water (probably around a teaspoon is enough, be very careful not to add to much) and keep blending until you get a nice soft lump of dough.  Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 30 mins.  As it will be quite soft roll the pastry out between 2 pieces of greaseproof paper.  If making mince pies like I did use a well greased and floured tin and cook them for about 30 minutes at 200c.

Enjoy !!!
