Savoury Gluten-Free Pastry image

A Sally Wise recipe from her cookbook "From My Kitchen to Yours". This pastry can be used for pies or tarts. Sally suggests that you can add 2 teaspoons of geatine/gelatin powder that has been sprinkled over 1/4 cup water and left to stand for 10 minutes. Add the gelatin with the egg and an addditional tablespoon of flour. The gelatine makes the pastry easier to roll but is not a necessity. Use this pastry in your recipes to make savoury pies or tarts and bake according to the recipe being used. I haven't yet tried this recipe
