Using up a shortcrust pastry

Amara

I've got half of pack in my fridge. How to use it up? I thought about jam tarts. Any other ideas ,please?

You could freeze it for next time, perhaps?

Will it be fine? I bought it chilled. Never tried before.

Currant flat - roll it out into a circle, put a handful of currants and a sprinkle of sugar in the middle, fold the edges in, roll out, bake.

Sounds easy, thanks

Bakewell tarts, mini tarlets filled with raspberries and ganache or creme patissiere with fruits:

Or maybe something more savoury like individual pies.

Hope that helps

wrapped tightly in cling film it freezes beautifully I always seem to have a bit left over so I freeze it until I have enough bits in there to make another pie or a stash of jam tarts for my four dear hollow legged DGS who will eat almost anything put in front of them :):)

Like the currant flat but put pesto in and cut into 'sticks'. I serve them with pasta dishes.
