Time 50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chilled butter, cubed
¼ cup ice water, or more if needed

Steps:

  • Place flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add cubed butter; pulse until crumbly.
  • Pour slow stream of ice water through feed tube while the processor is on low speed until dough holds together when pinched, making sure not to add too much.

  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin between 2 pieces of parchment paper to desired thickness when ready to use.
  • Butter two 9-inch tart pans. Roll crusts 1 at a time onto the rolling pin and unroll over tart pans. Gently push dough into the prepared pans, molding to the sides. Trim edges with fingers or a knife. Fill and bake according to filling recipe instructions.

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.

To ensure a flaky crust, chill the butter and the flour before using. A food processor yields the best results, but you can use a pastry cutter instead; work quickly so that the butter remains cold. This recipe provides the crust for our Spiced Apple, Pear-Cranberry, and Maple Pumpkin pies.
