Servings: 2 pies
Author: Melby
- 4 cups flour
- 5 ml salt
- 450 g butter
- 1 cup boiling water
Sift the dry ingredients together and mix.
Grate the butter on top of the dry ingredients.
Add the boiling water and stir until all the butter has melted and the flour has been mixed in.
Form a ball of dough and divide into two equal pieces.
Refrigerate for at least two hours or freeze in a plastic bag for later use.
- If you want the same convenience as having shop-bought pastry dough in the freezer, make the dough and freeze it. Give it 5 to 6 hours to defrost before needed, but keep it in the fridge as it is much easier to work with if still cold.
