Create a perfect, flaky crust for quiches and tarts by keeping ingredients and equipment cold. Avoid over-kneading for a tender pastry. Bake in a metal tin for a crispy finish.
Ingredients:
  • 265g (1 3/4 cups) plain flour
  • 125g chilled butter, chopped
  • 1 egg yolk, lightly whisked
  • 10.00 gm iced water
Instructions:
  • Combine the flour and butter in a food processor until they resemble fine breadcrumbs.
  • Combine the egg yolk and water with the dough until it begins to come together.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Form into a disc and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow it to rest.
