Questions
Making the lemon tart pasty case
Delia's sweet shortcrust (from the deep lemon tart recipe) rolls out fine after chilling, but falls apart when you try to transfer it to the baking tin. What is causing this instability?
Also, the quantities are supposed to be for a 30cm tin but are far too little even for a 20cm tin.
The semolina in apple pie.
