Shortcrust Pastry is a fun and accessible online baking course where you will learn the art of making your own melt-in-the-mouth pastry – all from your very own kitchen.

Anneka Manning will take you through the process and share her more than 30 years of baking experience, knowledge and research, as well as all of her practical and handy tips and tricks.

The course includes a 3-hour masterclass pre-recorded video (which was recorded as a Live Session earlier this year), which enables you to take part in this course entirely at your own pace. Not only does the video include full step-by-step instructions for making shortcrust pastry from scratch and a Quiche Lorraine, but you will have the ability to bake along in your own time and have access to all the questions that were answered during the session.

This virtual masterclass is supported by printable recipes and resources which will become your go-to shortcrust pastry kit. Along with the Quiche Lorraine recipe, Anneka also shares a number of tried-and-tested recipes including a seasonal Fruit Galette and a Roasted Pumpkin, Tomato and Oregano Tart.

At the end of this course, you will walk away with all the knowledge, skill and confidence you need to be able to bake your own delicious shortcrust pastry at home and never rely on store-bought pastry again.

Please note: The video included in this course is a pre-recorded 3-hour video of a Live Session that took place earlier this year.
