Many British recipes call for shortcrust pastry for a tender and crumbly crust in sweet pies, tarts, or savory quiches. Because it is so easy to make in batches, I make extra to freeze for later use.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups chilled butter , cut into pieces
- 0.25 cups shortening
- 4 tablespoons ice water , or more as needed
Instructions
-
1
Combine flour, butter, and shortening in a food processor; pulse until crumbly. Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at at time, until dough is soft and pliable.
-
2
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.

Samoa Cheesecake Cupcakes
I love all three of these things separately, and I love them even more when they're together!
Veggie Hash
This veggie hash is loaded with potatoes and fresh veggies and is a meal on its own. I do recommend adding a fried egg on top, but it's optional if you'd like a vegan version. The best part is that you can substitute whatever veggies you have on hand. Asparagus works really nice in this too.
Pudding Cookies II
Old fashioned pudding cookies. Change the flavor of the pudding for a different variety. Try using pistachio pudding and knead gently and pat out onto a lightly floured surface and cut out bake and then decorate to your liking. Enjoy!
