Boiling Water Crust Ii Recipes

BOILING WATER PASTRY

Steps:

• Place shortening in a heat-proof bowl. Pour in boiling water and whip mixture until creamy.
• Mix together salt and flour in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to shortening mixture. Stir until pastry stops sticking to sides of bowl. Refrigerate pastry before rolling out.

HOT WATER PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Add the shortening and butter to a very large bowl. Add the hot water and milk.
• Now, using a fork, whip the mixture together. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Work the fat and water together until it forms a smooth and fluffy mixture that looks like whipped cream. This will seem, at first, like it will never work, but keep at it. If you just don't feel you can do this, you can whip the mixture together in a food processor. When the mixture is smooth and fluffy, transfer it to a bowl and add the flour and salt.
• When the mixture is smooth and fluffy, add the flour and salt. Again, using the fork, work the mixtures together until a dough forms.
• Gather up the dough and form into two balls. Put the balls into plastic bags and chill for 3 to 6 hours.
• Now place one of the balls between two sheets of waxed or parchment paper and flatten it.
• Now get your rolling pin and flatten the dough, starting from the center. Gradually work the dough until it is about 1/4" thick. It should be a 12" circle.
• Carefully peel away the top layer of waxed or parchment paper. Do this by holding one side of the paper and peel lit away, holding the paper close to the pastry.
• Holding the paper, flip the dough into a pie or tart tin. Carefully peel the paper away, again holding the paper close to the pastry. If it rips or tears, don't worry; you can patch it together.
• Ease the pastry into the pan. That means don't stretch it, or it will spring back and shrink in the oven.
• If you're making a one crust pie, then fold the edges into the sides on top of the pastry that's already there to form a rim about 1/2" high. Press the dough on the sides together. Flute the edges by holding your thumbs and pointer fingers together on both hands, pinching the dough as you move around the pan. Keep the other half of the dough in the fridge or freeze it until you're ready to make another pie.
• If you're making a two crust pie, don't flute the edge. Roll out the other ball of dough just like you did the first, using fresh pieces of waxed or parchment paper. Fill the pie, then pull off the top piece of paper. Put the top crust on the filling, peel off the paper, then fold the edges of the dough together. Flute the dough.
• That's it! Follow the recipe for baking instructions. And pat yourself on the back. You've made pie crust!

• Transfer to a 9 inch pie pan, then trim and flute the edges.
