2024-03-20 By : Admin
This classic French shortcrust pastry (pâte brisée) can be used for any sweet or savory pie or tart. Working with the pastry can be a bit finicky, so make sure you chill it properly.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 cup butter, but into pieces

  • 3 tablespoons ice water, or more as needed

Directions

    1. Pulse together the flour and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until the consistency of breadcrumbs. Add water gradually, pulsing until a dough forms. Wrap and chill dough for 60 minutes or up to overnight.
    2. Roll dough to a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
    3. Gently transfer to a 9-inch pie plate or 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Flute edges of pastry as desired for the pie plate or trim even with the rim of the tart pan.
    4. Chill for 1 hour before baking as directed in recipes.
