Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 250 g All-purpose flour
  • 125 g Unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 60 ml Ice-cold water
  • 15 g Sugar optional for sweet pies
  • 1 Egg yolk optional for richness

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Rolling Pin
  • Tart Pan
  • Baking Beans
  • Oven
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Pulse together the flour and salt in a food processor. Add cold butter and pulse until you see pea-sized pieces.
  2. Slowly drizzle in ice-cold water while pulsing until the dough comes together. Scoop out and form into a disk.
  3. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
  4. Flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 3mm thick. Ensure even thickness for uniform baking.
  5. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line dough with parchment and weigh down with baking beans for blind baking.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, remove weights, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
