Bake your own pies: Four ways with traditional butter pastry at Soetmelksvlei

Only 10 spaces available

Having a trusted shortcrust pastry recipe in your skill set opens a world of delicious bakes from your own kitchen. From home-baked quiche to mini fruit pies with a deliciously crumbly crust – butter pastry is the answer. Join us in the heritage kitchen of Soetmelksvlei to make the best and most versatile all-butter pastry.

Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical farmyard of Soetmelksvlei, which represents a time when life was simpler and craftsmanship was treasured. Here, master baker Martjie Malan will teach you the art of making her very best butter pastry. Using your own pastry, you’ll create a variety of sweet and savoury bakes to enjoy and take home.

After a hands-on morning in the farm air, we’ll enjoy a hearty lunch at the Old Stables Restaurant before heading back to Babylonstoren.
