sift the flour into abowl, then sprinkle the suet in, season if desired and just mix it in lightly with your hands to distribute it evenly. Now sprinkle in some cold water (you'll find you need more for this pastry than for shortcrust).
suet crust should be left for 5 minutes, then rolled out immediately. You should always roll it out more quickly than shorcrust, approximately 1/2 inch thick. These quantities will be enough to top a 1 1/2 pint pie dish. for a 2 1/2 pint use 12 oz of self raising flour and 6 oz suet.
My daughter worked with a caterer one summer and learned how to make puff pastry. Ever since she first noticed the low carb mozzarella stromboli dough she thought it could be made into a low carb puff pastry. To be honest I didn’t really see how until now but I’m calling this one a Lighter Low Carb Pastry Crust THM S Low Carb.
This is the low carb version of that popular breakfast pastry. However, this one does not come with all of that added sugar that the famous named brand stuff has in it. This copycat 'Pop Tart' recipe is also sugar free . I was surprised at how easy this recipe is to make as well using this sugar free strawberry jam.
