\ud83e\udd67 My go-to pie crust<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This pie crust, my shortcrust pastry, is very easy to do and impossible to screw up! Perfect for a tarte tatin<\/a> like the one in my cookbook!<\/p>\n

It’s the one I pull out whenever a recipe calls for a crust. Store-bought? Not when I have time to make my own. This one tastes like butter, and you can tell.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\uddc8 Food processor, very cold butter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The food processor does all the work. You take care of the butter: small cubes, ultra cold, never lukewarm. It decides whether your crust ends up tender or sticky. You mix until it turns grainy, add the ice-cold water and shape a ball.<\/p>\n

A rest in the fridge, and you’re done.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf84 The one for pies and tourti\u00e8res<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In December, the tourti\u00e8re<\/a>, the sugar pie, the apple pies and the pecan pies all start from the same base, and this is it. It gives you enough to cover one pie, or to fill two.<\/p>\n

Want to get ahead before the holidays? It freezes. Absolutely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
