Instructions
​
-
After experimenting with hand mixing, a stand mixer and food processor I found the food processor made a huge differences in the workabiltiy of the pastry allowing it to be rolled the baking dish lined without falling apart.
-
Put butter, flour, BP and salt in a food processor run until it looks like fine bread crumbs.
-
Add a tablespoon at a time of water and pulse until the dough comes together in a dough ball.
-
Roll out dough to the shape of your form allowing enough to create a rim.
-
Grease form and line with dough.
-
This pastry can be used right away or blind baked and filled later. I have made several pies and quiches without blind baking and it works just fine, no soggy bottoms.
