Pie Dough

Preparation mode

• In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour and salt.
• Add the cold butter or margarine, cut into cubes, and mix with your fingertips until you obtain a moist crumb.
• Add the egg and cream (or ice water) and mix until a homogeneous dough forms. If necessary, add a little more cream or water to thicken the dough.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to rest.
• After resting, roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface until it is about 3 mm thick.
• Line the pie molds with the dough, pressing the bottom and sides well.
• Fill the pies with the filling of your choice (chicken, hearts of palm, shrimp, etc.).
• Cover the pies with a little more dough, sealing the edges well.
• Brush the caps with beaten egg yolk to add shine.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for around 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden.
