The shortcrust is possibly the most widely used and popular of all pie crusts. It gains its name because of its β€˜short” eating quality. This shortness is brought about by the choice of fat and the careful mixing of fat and flour. This results in a crust which has great appeal and which may be used as the basis for many dishes, both sweet and salty.

The rich short crust is crisper and richer than plain short crust and is especially good for dessert pies and fruit flans.

Points for Success

  • The fat and water, as well as the utensils, must be cold.
  • Handle the ingredients as little and as lightly as possible.
  • Do not over-mix the dough or the pastry will be hard and tough.
