Recipe Summary Rich Shortcrust Pastry
Everyone was asking me for this pastry recipe, so here it is! It's rich, tasty, and versatile. Freeze what you don't need to use. Enjoy!Ingredients | Shortcrust Pastry Chicken Pie Recipe
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or more to taste
1 ½ cups butter
3 eggs
1 cup cold water
Directions
Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut butter into the flour mixture until it is the consistency of breadcrumbs.
Lightly beat eggs together in a separate bowl; stir into butter-flour mixture. Add water and mix just until incorporated, using your hands to bring dough together.
Turn dough onto a floured work surface and cut into 4 portions. Refrigerate dough for 15 to 30 minutes before using.
This is a large amount, but it's delicious pastry, great for meat pot pies or fruit pies. Roll it thinner for a crunchy texture or thicker for that biscuity crust.
Substitute margarine for the butter, if desired.
Substitute milk for the cold water, if desired.
