Quiche Recipes, Pastry Dough

1 cup unbleached flour
¼ cup butter
½ tsp sea salt (if butter is unsalted)
3 T cold water, heavy cream or milk

Measure the flour and cut the butter into tiny cubes.

Put the flour in the bowl of a food processer and cut the butter into the flour. The dough should have the texture of coarse cornmeal. Add 1 tablespoon of the liquid at a time and pulse the food processor. As soon as the dough sticks to itself, stop adding liquid. Weather factors, such as humidity, will affect the amount of liquid needed.

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and lightly knead the dough, then form it into a ball. Wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before using.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it warm up for about 10 minutes before rolling it out. On a well-floured board, flatten the dough with your hands into a circle shape. Then, using your rolling pin (a marble pin works best), gently roll it into a round of about 1/8-inch thick.

There's enough dough for one 9-inch quiche or 6 individual quiches. Be sure to use a fork to prick the dough when it's in the muffin tins or tart pan to prevent it from puffing up.
