QUICHE CRUST / SHORTCRUST PASTRY FOR PIES
Recipe video above. This is a recipe for quiche and pie crusts, both of which are made using shortcrust pastry. This is a great, EASY classic quiche crust. Quiche crusts are just made with shortcrust pastry. Made using a food processor, very slightly adapted from this recipe by Emeril Lagasse.Inactive chill time: 1 hour. This is the recipe I've been using for years and years, and it has never failed me! Makes pastry for 1 x 23cm / 9" pie dish or tart tin (serves 8 - 12 people).

Steps:
- Place flour, salt and butter in a food processor.
- Pulse 10 times or until it looks like breadcrumbs.
- With the motor running on low, pour 2.5 tbsp of water into the tube feeder.
- Turn up to high and blitz for 30 seconds or until it turns into a ball of dough. Initially it will look like breadcrumbs, then it will turn into a ball of soft dough - some random escaped bits is fine. If it doesn't look like its coming together at 20 seconds, add another 1/2 tbsp of water. Don't blitz longer than 30 seconds at most.
- Form a disc, wrap in cling wrap. If there are escaped crumble bits, that's fine - just press them in. Refrigerate for 1 - 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 200C/390F (standard) or 180C/350F (fan forced)
- Sprinkle work surface with flour, unwrap dough and place on the flour. Sprinkle top with flour, then roll out into a 27cm/11" round.
- Gently roll the pastry so it wraps around the rolling pin.
- Unroll it over the quiche pan or pie dish - 23cm / 9".
- Press the pastry into the edges of the quiche pan, patching up edges if required (if pastry doesn't quite reach top of rim).
- Roll the rolling pin across the top to cut off the excess pastry.
- Optional extra "safe measure" refrigeration - 15 minutes. See (Note 2).
- Place a large piece of parchment paper over the pastry, then fill with baking beads or lots of rice or dried beans to weigh it down. (Note 3)
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven.
- Turn oven DOWN to 180C/350F (or 160C/320F fan).
- Use excess paper to CAREFULLY remove hot beads, then return to oven for 10 minutes or until base is light golden.
- Remove from oven and fill with chosen Quiche Filling. Quiche Lorraine, Salmon Quiche, Italian Sausage or your other filling of choice.
- The pastry will not be 100% cooked, it finishes cooking with the filling. It's cooked enough so the crust will not go soggy.

Steps:
- Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the chopped butter; rub butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Stir in the grated cheese. Sprinkle water over the flour mixture, a teaspoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Add just enough water to allow the dough form a ball and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll out dough, and place in a 9 inch pie/quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of the pastry.
- Bake crust in preheated oven for 10 minutes before filling with quiche custard of your choice.

QUICHE CRUST
A great crust for quiches. Use it with the Artichoke, Leek and Ham Quiche Filling #200905 or your own favorite filling. From Jan Roberts-Dominguez's "The Onion Cookbook". I've included both her by-hand and food processor directions. Preparation time includes chilling time.

Steps:
- Preparing the dough.
- By Hand:.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt.
- Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter and vegetable shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse meal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and ice water.
- Stirring with a fork, add only enough of this to the flour/butter mixture for the dough to start holding together.
- Food Processor method:.
- Place the flour and salt into the work bowl of a food processor and pulse briefly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and ice water.
- As you pulse the machine, add only enough of the egg/ice water mixture through the feed tube for the flour/butter mixture to start holding together.
- Forming the crust:.
- Collect the pastry and form it into a ball on a lightly floured surface.
- Gently press the ball into a flat circle about 1 inch thick.
- Cover it with plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 minutes before rolling it out.
- It can be refrigerated overnight at this point or frozen for later use.
- When ready to use, sprinkle the work surface with more flour and roll the pastry into a 16-inch circle, 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick.
- Lightly butter a 10 inch quiche or pie pan.
- Gently press the dough into the pan.
- Tuck the excess dough under to form a thick edge.
- Crimp the edges decoratively with your fingers or a fork.
- Refrigerate the crust until you are ready to use it in your favorite quiche recipe.
- Not necessary to pre-bake before using however, if using with the Artichoke, Leek and Ham Quiche Filling #200905, partially bake at 350F for 10 minutes before adding the filling and baking.

- In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking powder. Slice the butter into pieces, then cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry blender until a coarse meal texture is obtained. Sprinkle the ice water over the flour 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gradually with fork until the dough sticks together. Add additional water by the tablespoon until the dough comes together but is not sticky. Form the dough into a ball.
- If you have a pastry cloth, set it up and dust it with flour; otherwise, flour a clean work surface. Put on a rolling pin cover (optional), and either way, dust the pin in flour. Roll the dough to an even 12-inch circle (which corresponds to the 9-inch pie pan). Use a rolling pin to transfer the dough to the pie pan (make sure it is standard and not deep dish). Fold the overhanging dough backwards and seal it to form a rim. Then press it with the tines of a fork to decorate the edges (see the photos). Use a fork to gently prick holes in the bottom and sides of the crust (this helps it to not puff up while blind baking).
- Freeze the crust for 10 minutes before blind baking. (Or, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month.)
