It’s the product that has it all – Cold Pressed Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil; it has half the saturated fat of olive oil, it is high in omega 3, 6 and 9, it is a rich source of vitamin E, it has a high burning point, and most importantly it’s from Yorkshire!
What makes Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil even more fantastic are their fantastic range of flavoured oils, dressings and mayonnaise. They have cleverly put together a recipe book with different ways the oils can be used too. I’ve been trying out the Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Lemon in just about everything from dips and dressings, frying and baking. My favourite way to use the oil so far has been in pastry. I’ve never used oil in place of butter before so I was a little sceptical about how the pastry would turn out. Of course the texture is different, but the end result is a beautifully light and crispy pastry with an incredible lemony aroma. The flavour of the lemon is most definitely not lost through baking.
The pastry can be used in any of your favourite sweet recipes. It works fantastically in a lemon meringue pie. Or you can omit the sugar and use the pastry for your favourite savoury dish instead – I plan to use it for a chicken pie at some point!
