To avoid creating water pockets in your brisee (which will wreak havoc in your dough), make sure to strain the ice out of the water before drizzling it in and processing.

Time 1h10m

Yield Enough for one 9-inch double-crust pie, or one 10 1/2-by-15 1/4-inch single-crust slab pie

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
7 to 8 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle 5 tablespoons water over mixture; pulse several times to combine. Add more water,1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until mixture holds together when pinched.
  • For a 9-inch pie, shape dough into two disks and wrap each in plastic. For a slab pie, shape dough into a rectangle and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, or freeze up to 3 months; thaw overnight in refrigerator before using.

This pate brisee recipe was a disaster. The dough was impossible to work with and ended up in the trash.

I was disappointed with this pate brisee recipe. The dough was difficult to work with and didn't turn out flaky at all.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pate brisee dough turned out tough and chewy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a complete fail. The dough was dry and crumbly, and it fell apart when I tried to roll it out. I ended up having to throw it all away.

This pate brisee recipe is a keeper! It was incredibly easy to make and turned out perfectly. The dough was flaky and buttery, and it held together beautifully. I used it to make a quiche, and it was the best quiche I've ever had.
