You need half a sheet of paper  - it can be any paper as long as it is slightly bigger than the baking tray.
Pencil and and a scissor.

Out line  the inner circle of the pastry tray.
Cut the paper circle along the marked line.
Fold into four and mark the middle.The diameter of the circle is 9 inches.
From the middle mark the Pacman mouth and cut the piece away.

Step 3: Make the Crust

On floured board roll out pastry to line base and sides of prepared tin,and trim the edges.
