Thermochef ShortCrust Pastry Video Recipe.

This quantity is enough to make a good sized family pie with a top and 2 tarts.

Home made Shortcrust Pastry.

Ingredients

450 grams of all purpose or plain flour
good pinch of salt
220 grams cold butter cubed
120 grams icy cold water

Method

Place flour, salt and butter into Thermochef bowl, speed 7 for 10 seconds.
Add water and use knead function for 15 seconds.
Turn pastry onto a floured surface or silicone mat and lightly kneads for no more than a minute. Cover and place in refrigerator to allow pastry to rest for 15 minutes. 

After 15 minutes roll out pastry into what ever size pie or tart you wish. It will require baking in a fan forced oven at 190 degrees celsius until cooked. A large pie with top takes about 30 minutes. I brush the top with milk or egg wash to give a nice shiny crust.

This Pastry is light flaky, crusty and delicious. It is suitable for sweet or savoury fillings. It is probably the best pie pastry recipe I know of. The mixing takes 25 seconds the hand shaping/kneading takes less than a minute and the resting is 15 minutes, Baking time depends on filling used. This pastry doesn't shrink is extremely easy to make using the Thermochef and is preservative free.

The Thermochef is fast , easy to clean and does a superb job on this bakery item. 
Get the kids involved they'll love this hands on project.
