Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 20 mins


• 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.
