QUICHE SHELLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt with fork.
• Beat oil and water with whisk or fork to thicken.
• Pour into flour and mix with fork.
• Press into 9" pie crust.
• Fill with quiche mixture and bake at 400F until done.
• NOTES: I've never made this with canola oil.
• You can double the recipe, divide dough in half, and roll out into a pair of rounds for two-crust pies.
• This recipe is not suitable for baked pie crust shells.
• It makes a nice, flaky crust that's suitable for everyday use.

Steps:

• Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the chopped butter; rub butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Stir in the grated cheese. Sprinkle water over the flour mixture, a teaspoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Add just enough water to allow the dough form a ball and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll out dough, and place in a 9 inch pie/quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of the pastry.
• Bake crust in preheated oven for 10 minutes before filling with quiche custard of your choice.
