Recipe Summary Rich Shortcrust Pastry

Everyone was asking me for this pastry recipe, so here it is! It's rich, tasty, and versatile. Freeze what you don't need to use. Enjoy!

Ingredients | Shortcrust Pastry Recipe Ideas For Toddlers

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons salt, or more to taste

1 ½ cups butter

3 eggs

1 cup cold water

Directions

Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut butter into the flour mixture until it is the consistency of breadcrumbs.

Lightly beat eggs together in a separate bowl; stir into butter-flour mixture. Add water and mix just until incorporated, using your hands to bring dough together.

Turn dough onto a floured work surface and cut into 4 portions. Refrigerate dough for 15 to 30 minutes before using.

This is a large amount, but it's delicious pastry, great for meat pot pies or fruit pies. Roll it thinner for a crunchy texture or thicker for that biscuity crust.

Substitute margarine for the butter, if desired.

Substitute milk for the cold water, if desired.
