Buttery Cornmeal Pastry image

This pastry goes well with savory pies (buttermilk pie, meat pies, yam pie, veggie pies, etc) - a nice change of pace! The cornmeal in the pastry gives it a lovely crumbly texture. Based on a recipe from "Food and Wine Magazine," Oct 2004.

Time 35m

Yield 1 10inch pie crust

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fine white cornmeal, plus
2 tablespoons fine white cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/4 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse the flour, cornmeal, and salt together in a food processor; add the cold butter and pulse until the pieces are about the size of small peas.
  • Sprinkle the mixture with the ice water and pulse until the pastry is evenly moistened, careful not to over-mix.
  • Transfer pastry to a lightly-floured board and gently pat it into a disk; wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.
  • To use, transfer chilled pastry to a lightly-floured board and gently roll out to create either one 10-inch tart shell or six individual potpie crusts.
  • The pastry can be refrigerated overnight or frozen for 1 month, and recipe can be easily doubled.
