Made my first batch today of low carb Panda flour shortcrust pastry

Panda Shortcrust Pastry Gluten-Free, Low-Carb & Easy to Work With

This versatile shortcrust pastry is buttery, stable, and easy to handle — all without gluten or excess carbs. One batch makes 8 portions and can be used for both sweet and savoury dishes. Whether you're baking a rich quiche, classic egg custards, or mini Bakewell tarts, this dough gives a crisp...

Made just one batch (used mix of lard and butter) and managed to make three lots of pastry goods:
6 jam tarts - no photo as jam definitely not low carb and they are for guests this weekend not me!
6 small quiche Lorraine ( bacon, spring onions, cheese and egg and cream mix)

A custard tart - also to use up egg yolks left from making LC protein loaf which uses five egg whites!

@DJC3 like you I found this pastry is very easy to work with and I agree with you it tastes like the real thing - not had proper custard tart for probably about 11 years. it used to be one of my fave sweet treats - before diagnosis almost 11 years ago!I
Breakfast kefir then garden tomatoes cooked in olive oil served on hm LC toast
Lunch three low carb crackers and vintage cheddar followed by a small tester slice of the LC custard tart
Dinner salmon and peas followed by another piece of the LC custard tart. Just had two pieces of 90% dark chocolate with decaffeinated coffee.

That custard tart looks fantastic @shelley262 I also used half and half lard/butter which is how I always made shortcrust. It’s so nice to have real pastry on the menu again isn’t it?
Today I had an open omelette for breakfast and threw in odd leftover bits from the fridge. Red pepper, cherry toms, feta and spinach.
Lunch was cheese and sauerkraut roll and 4 squares Montezuma’s
Dinner- 1 L/c sausage and baby back ribs, Marinated in a mix of sugar free ketchup, mustard, ACV and Lea&Perrins. Served with sauteed mushrooms and spinach. Small slice l/c parkin.

My meals may not be as low carb as others, but today for lunch I had a wholemeal corned beef & tomato sandwich (38g carbs), and for dinner I had three nests of egg tagliatelle (56g carbs) with a spicy, homemade minced beef bolognese-style sauce. My CGM seemed to approve; I might actually be getting into remission.

Odd breakfast of 1/2 avocado with olive oil and ACV in the hole. I’d been remembering that epitome of 70s sophistication - avocado vinaigrette and how much I enjoyed it, so decided I must revisit it. ( I still love it)
Lunch was brisket, cooked overnight covered in a double layer of foil in very low oven. It was fab, crispy outside and meltingly soft meat. ( thanks to @ianpspurs for telling me this method of cooking brisket a few years ago) Cauli cheese, roast swede and buttered cabbage.
Teatime: chunk of cheddar and l/c brownie.

Dinner had some home cooked ham leftover so decided to do more low carb pastry and make a mini quiche( 6 inches quiche tin) to share with salad - I'm loving having pastry again.It's delicious and this version very low carb count.
