Spelt Pastry - Using Ghee instead of butter?
Hello,
I would like to make pastry but will have to make a few 'twists' in the recipe.
I am unable to have modern wheat but can have spelt and khorasan. I am also unable to have butter, butter substitutes or margarine, but can have Ghee (clarified butter).
Anyway I was thinking of making the pastry for pies and vegetable triangles using spelt flour and was wondering whether I could substitute ghee instead of butter in the recipe?
If so do I substitute 1:1 or how much?
Has anyone tried making pastry using ghee and what were your experiences?
The other alternative is just using olive oil but not sure that this would even work??
Thanks.
