Making Pastry - "When adapting pastry recipes for gluten free flour, add extra liquid to form a soft dough & if you have time rest it for 30 minutes before use. Gluten free pastry tastes great when cooked but can be delicate to handle when raw. Press delicate pastry into dish with fingers or roll out with ease, between two sheets of cling film.'
