Sweet shortcrust pastry

So last night we went to a friends house for dinner, or should i say dessert. We all loved dessert so much they decided to skip the main meal and go straight to the sweets, bring on the sweet potato pie and pumpkin pies. yum yum!
Anyway there was a bit of a GF packet mix shortcrust pastry dilemma. (was not working and didn't taste all that good) so we decided to just quickly make up one from scratch. And to my suprise it worked so well. and tasted great. So, wanted to share it with you..... lets hope i can remember it now.

INGREDIENTS:
*1 cup of plain gluten free flour
*1 cup of almond meal
*3 Tbsp of sugar
*150 g nutalex/ or other dairy free alternative
*2-3 Tbsp iced water

DIRECTIONS:
* Place flour, almond meal, sugar and butter and pulse in food processor until it becomes a breadcrumb consistency.

* Add the iced water (only a teaspoon at a time) until the mixture comes together in a nice dough.

* Remove from food processor and kneed on a bench with a little extra GF flour

* Most shortcrust pastry recipes say to put the dough in the fridge for 30 min or so but as we were in a rush we didn't have time to do this and it still turned out really well, so it's totally up to you on this one.

* Then press the mixture into a greased pie dish or use in whatever way you would like.

Happy Baking!
