Homemade shortcrust pastry is a mixture of flour, fat and water used as a base or covering for pies and tarts. These figures describe the uncooked pastry. It mainly provides carbohydrate and fat: per 100g, it contains 49g of carbohydrate and 26g of fat, including 16g of saturated fat. Its energy content is 1823 kJ per 100g.
Carbohydrate and fat provide energy for the body. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake, as eating too much saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol. The figures refer to the pastry alone; fillings and other ingredients will affect the nutritional content of a finished dish. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
