PATE BRISEE (PIE CRUST) image

Yield 1 double pie crust

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup chilled margarine
3 tbsp shortening (double is 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp, triple is 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp)
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
5 to 6 tbsp ice water

Steps:

  • Work the margarine & shortening very lightly into the flour by using your fingers to work them and then lightly and quickly rotating it between your palms. Make a well in the center. One tablespoon at a time, add the water, using your index finger to stir the water into the flour in a spiral, beginning at the center and moving gradually to the outer edge. The dough should be soft enough to gather up into a ball but should not stick to your fingers or the board. Allow the dough to rest for 2 to 36 hours in the fridge. Cover it with a damp towel for the shorter time or with foil or plastic wrap for the longer. Resting breaks any rubbery reactions from being handled. To roll, divide the dough in two with one slightly larger than the other. Shape each half into a flattened circle. Lightly dust a wooden board with flour. Use a floured rolling pin to roll from the center out, turning the dough as you go. Add flour to the board as needed but try to keep to a minimum. Do not push to and fro which toughens the dough. Patch any tears rather than rerolling. Roll the bottom crust with an overhang to allow for pinching the edges. Dough should be 1/8" or less in thickness.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The pie crust was tough and chewy.

I'm not a fan of this recipe. The dough was too dry and crumbly, and it was difficult to roll out.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I used to buy pre-made pie crusts, but they were always so expensive. Now I can make my own pie crusts for a fraction of the cost.
