Use our gluten-free hot water crust pastry mix to Bake Yourself Happy at Home®. Use it to make truly scrumptious gluten-free pork pies and other cold-eating pies as well as traditional Scotch pies.

But don’t let us limit your imagination on its use!

It takes just minutes to make a batch of gluten-free hot water crust pastry using our mix – you simply add fat, egg and water (boiled with the fat).  Once it is rested and ready to use, you can get on with making a feast of delicious pies. You will be fighting off the wandering hands of friends and family members as you wait for your pies to cool!

We chose to develop our hot water crust pastry mix to a dairy free recipe. It requires a combination of lard and baking block to make it. If you prefer a more buttery taste, you can substitute the baking block for butter. If you are a vegetarian, you can swap the lard for more baking block or butter.

We always recommend rolling your pastry between two sheets of clingfilm so that the structure of the pastry is not altered by the addition of flour for dusting.

Following the on-pack instructions, this mix will yield a ball of pastry weighing approximately 850g.

We also have a gluten-free savoury pastry mix and a vegan gluten-free pastry mix for your other savoury baking needs.

Happy baking!
