Hally - I used this pastry a few weeks ago for lemon meringue pie. Brilliant, no shrinkage at all. Thanks Uni.

AB - I have used this for savoury meat pies in the pie maker it was brilliant.

sue purrb - I only have 200 mls sour cream....do you think it would work if I added 100 mls yoghurt, or should I reduce the flour to 1 1/3 cups instead?

I ended up adding the 100 mls yoghurt, the dough was still quite sticky after resting, but I gave it a quick knead on a well-floured mat, and it came together really well. I used half of the pastry for  Chelsea's Egg and bacon pie, which turned out beautifully. It's a favourite, and I usually make it with the cream cheese pastry...this one seemed lighter.

I'd like to use the other half to make jam tarts using TM strawberry jam. Can anyone advise if I should blind bake them first, if so for how long, and what temp, or just fill with jam and bake...again, for how long and what temp? (Can you tell I haven't made jam tarts since I was  little? Cheesy Interestingly, I don't remember my mum ever blind baking anything. Many thanks.

cookie1 - My Mum didn't either. She just cooked things on the bottom shelf for a while.  When I blind bake I only do it for about 5 minutes. I know this is wrong but it works for me.

Can cakes be baked at a lower temp or will that stop the cake from rising?

How about the 1st ten mins on 180 then lower the temp to 150 would that work?
