Cuisinart CBT-2000P1 Recipe - Page 15

PâtBr é Pastry dough prepared in a blender? Oh yes! Thanks to the range of speed and functions in the Cuisinart® blender, pastry dough can be pulsed together to form the aky dough. Be sure not to overmix - the dough may look too dry, but trust us, it is better to go under than over in this process. Makes 1 single pie/tart crust 1 ½ 8 2 to 3 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour teaspoon kosher salt tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed tablespoons ice water 1. Put the flour and salt into the blender jar. Select Speed 3 and press Start. Blend until combined, 10 seconds. 2. Add the cubed butter. Select Speed 5 and pulse to form large crumbs, about 2 to 6 times. If it looks uneven, scrape down and pulse 1 to 2 more times. 3. Add 1 tablespoon of the water. Select Speed 5 and pulse to just combine. Using a wooden spoon, scoop a bit of the mixture out of the blender jar. Pinch the mixture. If it sticks together, then the mixture is ready. If it is too dry, drizzle additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and repeat pulsing 1 to 2 times until it just comes together. Do not overmix or your baked pie/tart shell will be tough and not flaky. 4. Dump the mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using the heel of your hand, combine and work together gently - just a few times - to shape into a disk. Wrap well and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 3 days.
