How to make The Best Shortcrust Pastry AND Blind Bake a Pie/Tart Shell | Cupcake Jemma

  • There are lots of different kinds of pastries out there and for each type there are hundreds of slightly different ways to do it. Shortcrust is my favourite of all time. A 'Short' pastry should be sturdy enough to hold a filling, but light, snappy and slightly crumbly too so it melts in your mouth. This is my FAIL-SAFE Shortcrust Pastry recipe, plus a demo on how to 'Blind Bake' at tart or pie shell so that you can fill it with yummy stuff!
    Recipe...
    225g plain flour
    2 tbsp icing sugar
    150g very cold unsalted butter
    pinch of salt
    3 tbsp ice-cold water

    Jemma, you do such an amazing job with your clear descriptions, and examples of "How to" that anyone, even a beginner is willing to attempt the process! Wonderful job as always!

    No matter how many channels I watch, I always feel inspired by yours - somehow I feel that special reassurance... All my favourite recipes are from your channel. What I urgently need please, is a good apple pie with a 'double crust' - not too fancy-looking because I'll be selling it, and if it's too time-consuming it simply won't be worth it. Thanks Jemma 🤗

    If your nervous of using cling film, use baking parchment, scrunch it up tightly before using it so it fits into your pastry case better.

      @melovedamusic 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Also dampen the paper slightly to make it softer. Mould the paper while damp into the pie dish and let dry for later use.

    I want to thank you for all the explaining you did on the video. It's really awesome to learn not just how to do something, but also WHY it is done a certain way. For example, I'm sure to use beaten eggs from now on to create a thin film to prevent soggy bottom crusts! Thank you, really, it was a very enlightening video!

  • @masha7377

    I learned so much even though I am an experienced baker! Would love if you could make this into a series including the most common types of doughs, pastries and batters. And maybe also make a series of different icings/buttercreams? 😊

    I used to have such a problem with pie crusts. They were always thick and chewy! I consistently get better results with this recipe than any other recipe I've tried. I'm having some right now and it is light, crisp, & flakey, as usual. 👍Thank you!!

  • @SamihaKaiser
    @SamihaKaiser 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hi Jemma, I made this recipe and it was amazing, the pastry is still crunchy the day after! I live in a very humid climate so I made a few adjustments- added 1 tbsp of cornflour/cornstarch. Next time I think I will skip the water all together because it is hot enough that just the butter forms a nice dough while the water instantly made it much looser (I only added a tbsp of water) and harder to handle.
