FRENCH PASTRY PIE CRUST RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by Foodiewife
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- For the crust (food processor method): Add all the ingredients, except for the water, into a food mixer with the blade attachment. Pulse until the ingredients resemble coarse crumbs. Slowly add the water, through the tube attachment, and mix until it is just combined. Dump onto a large sheet of plastic wrap, and gently form into a large ball; divide in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and then shape into a disc. Chill for at least an hour, or overnight. Without a food processor: Combine all the dry ingredients, then cut in the shortening with a pastry cutter. In a small bowl, combine the egg, vinegar and 4 Tablespoons of water, Whisk together, then add gradually to flour mixture, stirring with a fork. Mix until the dough forms a ball, and add one ore tablespoon of water, if necessary. When ready to roll, remove from the refrigerator. Lightly dust a piece of parchment paper with flour. Rolling from the middle to OUT. Turn the dough, 1/4 turns, often. The dough softens very quickly, so it will most likely tear. Just grab a section from an edge and patch it in. I found the dough too pliable to roll onto my rolling pin, so I lifted up the pie crust with the parchment paper and flipped it into my pan pan-- that worked! TIPS: I like to brush an egg wash over the crust, and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a beautiful golden brown color and some texture.
