Recipe For Shortcrust Pastry For Quiche
Shortcrust Pastry for Quiche
Ingredients
To make this delicious Shortcrust Pastry for Quiche, you will need the following ingredients: 250 g plain flour, 125 g butter, 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
Instructions
To get started, sift the flour into a bowl, then add the cubed butter to the bowl. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until you get a fine crumb. Beat the egg in a small bowl and add a tablespoon of cold water, then add the egg and water mix to the flour and butter mix. Mix the ingredients together until they form a dough. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more cold water. Once the dough has formed, wrap it in cling film and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. After the dough has rested, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is the desired size and thickness. Line the pastry over the quiche tin, and press it down gently to ensure it is firmly in place. Prick the pastry base with a fork and trim off any excess pastry. Bake the pastry at 180°C for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 160°C and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
