apparently it’s women’s empowerment week…
Don’t give up on making pie crust. Homemade so blows away frozen. My key ingredient is White Lily flour. For one crust for your quiche, put 1 cup of flour into electric mixer bowl, add 1/3 cup + 1 Tbl Crisco, & pinch of salt. Mix until it resembles small pea-size lumps. Add 2-3 Tbls ice water. Mix quickly just to bring it together. Dump it on a flour-dusted counter. Bring it together with your hands, form a flat round and then roll it out. I find the only hard part that takes a little practice is putting in the right amount of water. I like to add a little more than you think so the dough is wet enough to roll, you can always add more flour during the rolling process to get the right consistency. Another key is making sure your rolling pin is covered with flour. I also like to use my pastry scraper to lift the crust from the counter and roll it over the pin to transfer to the pie pan. Good luck!!
i had my own “cat empowerment” moment just now while making quiche. for breakfast. it’s 1:52. i’ve been up since 9:30.
pie crust might be the end of me. in the future i will celebrate my empowerment by buying a fucking frozen pie crust…because i am woman hear me roar.
