      Title: QUICHE PASTRY
 Categories: Breads, Pies, Kooknet
      Yield: 1 Pastry
 
  1 1/2 c  All-Purpose Flour
    1/4 ts Salt
      6 tb Cold Butter; cut into small
           -pieces
      2 tb Vegetable Shortening; cut
           -into small pieces
  4 1/2 tb Ice Water
 
  Place the flour, salt, butter and shortening in a large bowl. Rub the
  flour and fat together until the fat is broken into pieces the size
  of oatmeal flakes. Don't over-blend. Using a pastry knife, add the
  ice water, a little at a time, mixing until it just starts to hold
  together. Press the dough into a roughly shaped ball. Knead it
  briefly into a fairly smooth ball, then sprinkle lightly with flour
  and wrap in a sheet of waxed paper. Chill 1-2 hours in the
  refrigerator. When ready to roll, sprinkle work surface and rolling
  pin with flour and roll the pastry out into a circle 1/8" to 1/4"
  thick.
  
  Butter a 9" pie tin. Place the crust in the pan and press gently to
  line the inside. Crimp edges. To partially bake the shell, line the
  pastry with buttered, lightweight foil. Fill the center with dry
  beans or rice. Bake in the middle level of a preheated 400øF for
  about 8-9 minutes or until the pastry seems set. Remove foil and
  beans, prick bottom of the pastry with a fork, and return to oven for
  2-3 minutes.
