14/1/2019 0 Comments The best pastry ever (and easy as)This is my goto pastry : https://www.davidlebovitz.com/french-tart-dough-a-la-francaise/ It is so easy to make, never fails and is crisp and buttery. I use it in Citron tart, or lemon meringue pie, or anything else that needs a base. You could use it instead of a cheesecake base, because all the crushing of biscuits is a pain the ass, and keeping everyone from eating the biscuits is also a pain in the ass. In our house we have an "eating" and a "non-eating" cupboard. The eating cupboard is full of boring stuff like pasta and tins of tomatoes. The non-eating cupboard is where the muesli bars and biscuits go, however they still sometimes disappear.
When you're making this it's really easy to burn your hands, I melt everything in a pyrex jug in the oven, and then forget it's really fucking hot. My top tip is to wrap the oven gloves or tea towel around it, which will make you pause and think "that's odd - why is that wrapped around there?" and then when you go to remove it you only burn yourself a little bit. My attention, even to my own actions is seriously lacking. That photo is from the website, but mine looks like that, if a little less neat around the edges. You should make it. If you don't know what to put in it check out my Key Lemon Pie. It is easy and delicious. The recipe is here as the print version, but David Lebovitz is the best blogger so go and read him.
