Hot water pastry

Needed a good, can't mess up pastry that was versatile and easy to remember so I googled it and found this on instructables.com. I've tweaked it somewhat but wished to credit the source as this is not originally my recipe. I love it, the hubby loves it, enjoy!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Sift flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl
- 2
Now, you can EITHER 1) heat your fat and water to boiling on the stove OR 2) Run your water through a clean coffee maker and melt your fat in the microwave. Either way is fine as long as they're boiling hot for the next step
- 3
Move fast but be safe! Dump your hot fat and boiling water into your dry ingredients and combine until a soft dough forms
- 4
Let it rest until its cool enough to handle safely, then knead until it stiffens up, I usually rest it 10 minutes or so then knead it just until stiff (use a lightly floured surface obviously)
- 5
Now you can either use it immediately or you can wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just take it out, roll it or shape it however you wish and stuff it!
- 6
Bake according to your recipe, it blind bakes well too provided you dock it
- 7
This makes enough for 2 9" pie crusts or 1 13x9" pan (bottom only) I don't usually mature it and you can use any kind of fat: butter, lard, shortening, I've even used hamburger grease straight from the pan. You can also season it with various seasonings or spices instead of salt. It makes a nice flaky pastry that is also quite sturdy if you wish to mold your pie instead of using a pan

Puff Pastry Puff Pastry
This originally started with me wanting to make arlettes and palmiers but not really being motivated to buy puff pastry from the store. I got a day off work and decided to give it a try. It turns out to be a lot of fun to do and you get a much better pastry than the store bought one.You definitely need a french rolling pin for working the butter. Whether or not you need a pastry scrape depends on how hot your kitchen is. It's been a chilli winter for me so I didn't actually use mine.Puffy pastry is best used the day you make it but you can keep it in a Tupperware container for a few days in the fridge. Chris Jordan -

Authentic Homemade Puff Pastry Authentic Homemade Puff Pastry
This puff pastry is a family recipe passed down to me from my mom. Frozen puff pastry is easy to use, but homemade puff pastry is truly delicious.I think it's better to make the crust in a cool place so the butter won't melt. The dough won't come together easily at first, but don't give up. As you continue rolling it out and folding it, it will come together. Recipe by Bulgari angel cookpad.japan -
