PÂTE BRISÉE
Makes two single-crust 9-inch tarts/pies (24 servings),
or one double-crust pie (12 servings)
Approximate preparation time: 5 minutes
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl
of the Cuisinart® Food Processor. Add the flour and salt and
process for 10 seconds to sift. Evenly add the butter and pulse
until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in water 1
tablespoon at a time, and pulse until mixture just forms a
dough – you may not need all of the water. Divide dough
equally into two pieces and form each into a flat disc; wrap in
plastic and refrigerate until ready to use. This pastry also
freezes well for up to 6 months as long as it is well wrapped.
