Time 20m

Yield 4 pastry rounds

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 to 4 tablespoons water
Melted unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
  • Cut in butter until it is the size of large peas.
  • Add water tablespoon by tablespoon; knead lightly to form a dough and chill before using.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • To make pastry lids for pies, divide dough into 4 portions and roll each portion into a round 1/8 inch thick. Crumple 16 pieces of foil into large marble-size pieces and spread melted butter over them to prevent pastry from sticking to foil. Place each pastry round on top of 4 pieces of crumpled foil and bake until golden brown, 15 minutes. It may be necessary to turn over the pastries to brown on both sides.
