This makes a darn good flaky pastry, for an even flakier crust use half each cake and pasty flour and all-purpose, this dough may be frozen, allow to thaw overnight in refrigerator before using, you may use 7-Up or Fresca in place of the ginger-ale... no diet for this! Ingredients:
1 cup flour, plus |
1 tablespoon flour |
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, add in for a sweeter crust) |
1/2 cup frozen butter, broken into pieces |
1/4 cup ginger ale (do not use sugar-free) |
1/2 tablespoon vinegar |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, process flour, sugar (if using) and butter with on/off turns (about 2-3 seconds at a time) until the mixture begins to look like coarse oatmeal.
2. Combine the ginger ale with vinegar, and add through feed tube while machine is running; process just until the dough begins to gather in a mass around the blades (about 8-10 seconds, do not overprocess!).
3. Dump the dough onto the counter.
4. Gather up all the dough then shape into a flat disc.
5. Wrap disc in plastic wrap and chill in fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to overnight.
6. Dough may be frozen wrapped in plastic wrap then tightly in foil.
