This week I'm diving into the perfect pastry for different pies you can make this season, I make a shortcrust, hot water and flaky pastry. These are suitable for a variety of different pies which I will later explore on the channel, for now, enjoy these wonderful pastries!
Ingredients-
Shortcrust pastry
➤ 350g plain flour
➤ Pinch of salt (optional)
➤ 50g lard
➤ 100g butter
➤ 5 (to start) tbsp of cold water
Hot water pastry
➤ 150g lard
➤ 200g hot water
➤ 350g plain flour
➤ 1 egg yolk
➤ Pinch of salt (optional)
Flaky pastry
➤ 225g plain flour
➤ 175g butter (in freezer for 30 minutes)
➤ Pinch of salt (optional)
➤ A few tbsp of cold water
Recipe-
Shortcrust pastry
Weigh out the flour into a cold bowl and add the salt, then cut the lard and butter up into small cubes. Now add to the flour and after rinsing your wrists under cold water use your fingertips to quickly mix the two together until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, this will take around 5 minutes or so. Now start to add the water and use a cold knife to mix around and now use your hands to bind together. Work the dough in a ball, use the bowl and then wrap in clingfilm, leave to rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Hot water pastry
Weigh and cut up the lard, add to a saucepan and add the water. Let them melt together and once melted sprinkle in the flour, mix really thoroughly and add in the egg yolk, mix again. Cover with a tea towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Flaky pastry
Put the butter in the fridge 30 minutes before you need it, then weigh the flour into a cold bowl and grate the butter into the flour. Use a cold knife to help incorporate the two and then add the water and bring together.
