BASICS
PÂTE BRISÉE
Makes two single crust 9-inch tarts/pies (24 servings),
or one double-crust pie, (12 servings)
Approximate preparation time: 5 minutes
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large
work bowl of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Add the
flour and salt and process for 10 seconds to sift. Evenly
add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles
coarse crumbs. Pour in water 1 tablespoon at a time,
and pulse until mixture just forms a dough – you may
not need all of the water. Divide dough equally into two
pieces and form each into a flat disc; wrap in plastic and
refrigerate until ready to use. This pastry also freezes
well for up to 6 months as long as it is well wrapped.
