Can you make shortcrust pastry with stork?

[Honkytonky12]

Butter is too expensive at the moment and I wanted to make a Quiche. Any simple recipes would be great 😬

Any hard fat should do it. Lard, vegetable shortening.
butter has a nice flavour, and I’d probably 50/50 it.

I’ll have some old recipe books with it in somewhere. But I’m sure when I was a wee lass all the recipes were half and half.

I use an old be-ro recipe which is 50/50 hard stork and lard, it's great. 50g lard, 50g margarine, 225g plain flour + a pinch of salt & cold water to bind it (obviously ).

ive got the same recipe as above.
if my HE classes memory is correct the butter adds flavour and colour the lard adds the shortness.

Ah thank you everyone. I have brought ready made just in case but wanted to get it a try!

Yes. I make my mince pies with lard, stork and SR flour. Best pastry ever.

It needs to be block Stork, not tub Stork which is for cakes.

DM always makes pastry with half Stork, half lard. Tastes fine (for both sweet and savoury pies). Trex makes vegetarian lard now if you don’t fancy using pork fat.

It's got to be the block though - the soft stuff in the tub is useless for pastry.

I use all lard. Half fat to flour and put some of the flour aside for rolling out.

I use willow or block stork with no lard

I've always used the stork in the tub. Never had any complaints.
