How to Make Super Quick Hot Water Pastry

  1. Place 200g of plain flour into a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center.
  2. In a separate cup or jug, combine 50ml vegetable oil and 100ml of boiling water. Add 25g of lard or animal fat (optional, omit for vegetarian) and/or 25g of melted butter (optional, omit for vegan).
  3. Gradually pour the hot liquid mixture into the well of flour, mixing gently with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Once the dough starts to come together, use your hands to bring it into a smooth ball. The dough should be pliable but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more water; if it's too sticky, add a pinch more flour.
  5. Let the dough rest for a few minutes to cool slightly, until you can comfortably handle it. The warmth helps with the pastry's flakiness, so don't let it cool completely.
  6. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Use immediately to avoid the dough becoming tough.
  7. Fill and bake your chosen pastry item according to your recipe instructions.
