British Shortcrust Pie Pastry

Pastry flour is milled from soft wheat, often soft red winter wheat.

Recipe Summary British Shortcrust Pie Pastry

Many British recipes call for shortcrust pastry. This makes a great alternative to pre-made crusts. Because it is so easy to make in batches, I make extra to freeze for later use. This pastry dough can also be kept in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Ingredients | Pastry Flour Definition

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup chilled butter

¼ cup shortening

4 tablespoons ice water, or more as needed

Directions

Combine flour, butter, and shortening using a food processor until crumbly. Mix in water 1 tablespoon at at time until dough is soft and pliable.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap; let rest in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.

For a savory pie, you can add some salt and 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard. Or for a sweet pie, you can add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

You can use all butter in place of shortening, but not all shortening in place of butter.
