 Lining the pudding mold or basin with pastry

There are probably a few methods for lining a basin or mold with pastry. I have looked at it and set out two methods below. The first measures the basin across its centre to allow you to create a circle the right size. In the second I suggest you can use a plate that is about one and a half times larger than the diameter of the basin or mold to draw your circle.   

Measured Method: 

Measure over the centre of the mold or basin using string. Cut the string to the length. 

 measure large basin
determine radius Fold the string in half and set the compass to that length.
On a sheet of paper draw a circle with the compass and then cut out the circle. draw circle
cut out segment Cut a quarter segment out of the circle. This shape can now be used as a template for your pastry.
Approximation Methods:
Approximation To cut the pastry lining for a 2 pint pudding basin, choose a plate that is about 1½ times the diameter of the top of the basin (large dinner plate).
Approximation for Small Mold To cut the pastry lining for a small individual pudding mold, choose a plate that is about twice the diameter of the top of the mold (e.g. side plate or tea plate).
