50g (2oz) sunflower margarine

1. Set oven for 210 deg C, Gas mark 7.
2. Sieve the flour into mixing bowl. Add the margarine and salt then rub in the margarine until it looks like fine breadcrumbs.

4. Using a palette knife add enough cold water to make a soft dough.
5. Flour the table and rolling lightly then roll out the pastry a little at a time making sure that it does not stick to the table and that it is the same shape as the pie dish.
6. Stand the dish on the pastry and cut out the shape of the lid.
7. Use the trimmings to make a double edge then dampen the top of the pastry and put the lid in place.
8. Knock the edges together with the back of a vegetable knife then flute them for a savoury pie and biscuit them for a sweet one.
9. Cook for 20-25mins until the pastry is well browned.
