Pate Brisee For Rum Vanilla Cream Pie Recipes

PATE BRISEE FOR RUM-VANILLA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream until mixture just begins to hold together.
• Shape dough into 2 disks. Wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour (or up to 2 days).

PATE BRISEE (PIE DOUGH)

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
• With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube. Pulse until dough holds together without being wet or sticky; be careful not to process more than 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together: If it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Divide dough into two equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disc and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill at least 1 hour. Dough may be stored, frozen, up to 1 month.

PATE BRISEE (FRENCH SHORTCRUST)

Steps:

• Place flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add cubed butter; pulse until crumbly.
• Pour slow stream of ice water through feed tube while the processor is on low speed until dough holds together when pinched, making sure not to add too much.
• Divide dough evenly into 2 pieces. Form dough into discs on a lightly floured work surface. Wrap discs with wax paper or parchment paper before wrapping with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until use.
• Roll dough out on a lightly floured work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin between 2 pieces of parchment paper to desired thickness when ready to use.
• Butter two 9-inch tart pans. Roll crusts 1 at a time onto the rolling pin and unroll over tart pans. Gently push dough into the prepared pans, molding to the sides. Trim edges with fingers or a knife. Fill and bake according to filling recipe instructions.

PERFECT RUM-VANILLA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 13-inch round, 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Tuck overhang under, flush with rim, and crimp edges. Pierce bottom of shell all over with a fork. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line shell with parchment; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges begin to turn gold, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Bake until crust is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack. (Crust can be wrapped in foil and stored overnight at room temperature.)
• Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and vanilla seeds, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
• Whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Add milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until completely incorporated. Return mixture to saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl, and stir in 1/4 cup rum. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until butter melts before adding next piece. Let cool, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Pour custard into crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until custard filling is firm, 4 hours or up to 1 day.
• Meanwhile, place cream and vanilla pod in a bowl. Cover, and refrigerate 4 hours or up to 1 day.
• Just before serving, remove pod from cream, and discard. Whisk cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon rum, and whisk until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip (such as Ateco #826 or Wilton #8B), and pipe whipped cream over pie. Serve immediately.

• Pulse flour and salt in a food processor. Add butter, and pulse until mixture forms coarse crumbs with some larger pieces remaining, about 10 seconds.

PATE BRISEE I

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt for 10 to 15 seconds, or until combined.
• Scatter the butter over the top.
• Mix on low speed for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or just until the flour is no longer bright white and holds together when you clump it and lumps of butter the size of pecans are visible throughout.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and milk until blended.
• Add to the flour mixture all at once; mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, until the dough just barely comes together.
• It will look really shaggy and more like a mess than a dough.
• Dump the dough out onto an unfloured work surface; then gather it together into a tight mound.
• Using your palm and starting on one side of the mound, smear the dough bit by bit, down the side and along the work surface (at Flour, it is called "going down the mountain"), until most of the butter chunks are smeared into the dough and the dough comes together.
• Do this once or twice on each part of the dough, moving through the mound until the whole mess has been smeared into a cohesive dough with streaks of butter.
• Gather up the dough, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and press down to flatten into a disk about 1 inch thick.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before using.
• The dough will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
