Hot Water Pastry
A unique pastry recipe made with butter and hot water
Servings: 2 pies
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 5 ml salt
- 450 g butter
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
