STEP 1 Roll the pastry Mix the flour and icing sugar, and use this to dust the work surface. Roll the pastry out to make a 45 x 30cm rectangle. Roll up lengthways to create a long sausage shape. STEP 2 Cutting pastry into rounds Cut the pastry into 24 wheels, about 1-2cm thick. STEP 3 Roll out each pastry portion Roll each wheel lightly with the rolling pin to fit 2 x 12-hole non-stick fairy cake tins. STEP 4 Press pastry into the tin Press the pastry circles into the tins and mould into the tins to make thin cases. Chill until needed.
