Pie Magic

What type of pastry can be used?

There is a wide selection of ready rolled
pastry available in your supermarket freezer,
such as shortcrust, puff, butter puff and
wholemeal pastry. These pastries all give
great results and are handy to keep in your
freezer.
Due to the high fat content in pastry there
may be some oil seepage from the pies
during the cooking process. This does not
affect the quality of the pies.
Therefore we recommend using Light Puff Pastry
for the top combined with a Light Shortcrust
Pastry for the base.
For a more buttery taste use butter puff
pastry for your pastry top combined with
a shortcrust pastry for your base. This
combination is ideal for desserts. Homemade
pastry can also be used.
Preheat the Pie Magic for 5 minutes until
ready light is illuminated. Defrost your frozen,
ready rolled pastry while preparing your pies.
Note: The Warm Up and Ready lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle
during cooking to ensure that the correct
temperature is gained.

Cutting the pastry.

Use the special pie cutter provided to cut
the pastry tops and bases for your pies. The
small cutter is for the top and the large
cutter is for the base. See Figure 1.
To cut your pastry pieces, position the cutter
on a flat sheet of pastry and cut by pressing
down into the pastry. Ensure the cut is
smooth around the edges.
Note: For best results, frozen pastry should be
used as soon as it is just thawed.

Forming the pastry.

Gently place the pastry base in the preheated
pie maker. Be careful as the pie maker will
be hot. Quickly overlap the pastry slits to
ensure they join properly until a pastry base
is formed. See figure 2 and figure 3.
Caution: Only touch the pastry as the pie
maker will be very hot.
