May 16, 2008, Newsletter Issue #226: Hot Water Pastry
Tip of the Week
It´s really hard to ruin this pastry. It makes the most tender crust you´ve ever tasted! This recipe works best if you use the waxed paper method for rolling out the dough.
1 cup minus 2 Tbsp. shortening
1/4 cup hot water
1 Tbsp. milk
2-1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Place shortening in large bowl. Pour hot water and milk over the shortening. With a dinner fork, break up the shortening. Tilt bowl and beat quickly until the mixture looks like whipped cream. Pour flour and salt over shortening mixture and beat well with the fork, forming a dough that cleans the bowl. Divide into two parts and roll out with waxed paper instructions (see Pastry 101 in my Articles section).
