Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt
  • 2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Directions

Pulse flour, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water evenly over mixture. Pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between 2 fingers (dough should not be wet or sticky). If dough is too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse.

Shape dough into 1 large disk or 2 small disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. (Dough can be refrigerated overnight or frozen for up to 3 months. Let chilled dough stand for 10 minutes and frozen dough thaw before using.)

                My favorite crust.  I use it for desert pies and pot pies.   I do not understand why the directions to roll out, place in pie pan, add parchment paper and pie weights or beans, and bake then remove weights, then bake some more, then cover the edges then bake some more.  I always have to search for that in another recipe (coconut cream pie I think).  It should be with this.  I have made just the crust up and a day or so later added a filling.

                This is my go to recipe, but I do not get the exact results.  Can you please provide the flour weight in grams?  I've seen 1 Cup of AP flour range from 120g to 142g per cup.  Also is there more stability with bread flour vs AP?  Last question is, for pies vs tarts the pies use more flour but are the recipes for the Pate Brise interchangeable?
