- For One 9-inch Double-Crust/Lattice Pie, plus One 9-inch Open Pie; or Three 9-inch Tarts
Time:
- Preparation:
Ingredients
- 500g (4 cups) Pastry Flour
- 227g (1 cup) Unsalted Butter, softened
- 125g (about 1 cup, unsifted) Confectioners Sugar
- 1½g (¼t) Kosher Salt
- 3 large Eggs, room temperature
Procedure
- In a large bowl, measure and sift the pastry flour. Set aside.
- On a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, and salt, and mix until pale yellow and fluffy.
- Add the eggs in one at a time, making sure each egg is well incorporated before adding the next.
- Pour in the flour and mix slowly until it is just combined. If you see some dry spots, finish mixing by hand.
- Divide into three, flatten into circles, and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before rolling.
*Bunny Wisdom*
- I sift large amounts of flour to help get rid of clumps or impurities; this also helps aerate the flour for easier mixing.
- If the eggs are too cold, they will solidify the butter and make it more difficult to incorporate. Allow the eggs to sit on the counter before using.
- Make sure that you don’t over-mix the dough; a tender crust is yummier than a tough crust.
- Store dough inside the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or the freezer for up to 3 months, well-wrapped in plastic wrap and in a zipper bag.
