2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt
2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water evenly over mixture. Pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between 2 fingers (dough should not be wet or sticky).

PATE BRISEE (PIE DOUGH)



Pate Brisee (Pie Dough) image

Pate brisee is the French version of classic pie or tart pastry. Pressing the dough into a disc rather than shaping it into a ball allows it to chill faster. This will also make the dough easier to roll out, and if you freeze it, it will thaw more quickly.

Yield Makes 1 double-crust or 2 single-crust 9- to 10-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
  • With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube. Pulse until dough holds together without being wet or sticky; be careful not to process more than 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together: If it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Divide dough into two equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disc and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill at least 1 hour. Dough may be stored, frozen, up to 1 month.

PâTE BRISéE



Pâte Brisée image

Categories     Steam     Pastry

Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch double-crust pie or two 9-inch single-crust pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a bowl). Add butter, and pulse (or quickly cut in with a pastry blender or your fingertips) until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces remaining. Drizzle 1/4 cup water over mixture. Pulse (or mix with a fork) until mixture just begins to hold together. If dough is too dry, add 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse (or mix with a fork).
  • Divide dough in half onto two pieces of plastic wrap. Gather into two balls, wrap loosely in plastic, and press each into a disk using a rolling pin. Refrigerate until firm, well wrapped in plastic, 1 hour or up to 1 day. (Dough can be frozen up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator before using.)
  • Shortening Variation
  • Replace 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter with 1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces.
  • Lard Variation
  • Replace 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter with 1/2 cup cold lard. For the best quality, it's worth seeking out leaf lard. You can buy rendered leaf lard from online vendors, or from artisanal butcher shops.
  • Cornmeal Variation
  • Replace 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 cup coarse cornmeal.
  • Cheddar Variation
  • Reduce butter to 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) and add 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar to the flour mixture along with the butter. Increase sugar to 1 tablespoon.

Tips for Making Pâté Brisée:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Work quickly: Don't overwork the dough, or it will become tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling: This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
  • Roll the dough evenly: Use a light touch when rolling the dough, and make sure to roll it out evenly.
  • Trim the edges of the dough: Use a sharp knife to trim the edges of the dough so that they are even.
  • Bake the dough blind: If you are making a pie that has a custard or cream filling, you will need to bake the dough blind before adding the filling.

Conclusion:

Pâte Brisée is a delicious and versatile dough that can be used to make a variety of pies and tarts. By following the tips above, you can make a perfect pâte brisée dough that will impress your family and friends.
