Boiling Water Pie Dough-Very Easy!! image

This is a pie crust recipe that my mom always used and its quite old. Its a very liberating way to make pie crust especially for those of us who get the "willies" when we think about trying to make homemade pie crust. I know everywhere that a pie crust recipe is posted states it needs ice water to make it flaky. Not true...this way makes a crisp, flaky and tender pie crust. See for yourself..its only 4 ingredients...;) NOTE: Double the ingredients for a 2 crust 9 inch pie

Time 1h

Yield 1 piecrust

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put the shortening in a medium bowl and pour the boiling water over it.
  • Whisk for about 1 minute,until smooth and creamy and about the consistency of sour cream.
  • Add the flour and salt and stir with a fork until you have a ragged looking dough that barely holds together.
  • Scrape onto a floured surface and push and pat into a round disk 3-4 inches across.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.(This is a soft dough and is easier to roll out when it is chilled).
  • Sprinkle your work surface and the top of the dough, generously with flour, and roll out the dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick and about 12 inches across.
  • Transfer to a 9 inch pie pan, then trim and flute the edges.
  • The pie shell is now ready to be filled or baked first and then filled, depending on the recipe.

Tips for Foolproof Boiling Water Crust:

  • Use the right flour: All-purpose flour is the best choice for boiling water crust. It has the right amount of gluten to create a strong and chewy crust.
  • Boil the water properly: Make sure the water is at a rolling boil before adding it to the flour. This will help to gelatinize the starch in the flour and create a smooth dough.
  • Stir the dough constantly: Once you add the boiling water to the flour, stir the dough constantly until it comes together and forms a ball. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming lumpy.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: Chilling the dough before rolling it out will make it easier to work with and prevent it from sticking to the rolling pin.
  • Bake the crust at a high temperature: Bake the crust at a high temperature (450°F) for 10-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. This will help to create a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Boiling water crust is a versatile and delicious pastry that can be used for a variety of pies and tarts. By following these tips, you can make a perfect boiling water crust every time. You can also check out some delicious boiling water crust recipes at MenuOfRecipes.com.
