    Meanwhile, remove the pastry from the fridge. Dust the worksurface with flour, cut the pastry in half and, using a floured rolling pin, roll one of the pieces out until it’s just under 1cm thick. (Rolling the dough between two layers of greaseproof paper will also stop it sticking to your rolling pin). Butter a shallow 20cm pie dish and line with the pastry, trimming off any excess round the edges using a sharp knife.
