It's a fact, this period of pandemic has awakened the cordon bleu that slumbered in us. Indeed, forced to stay more than reason within our walls, cooking has become by force of circumstance a real moment of pleasure, sharing and creation. Among other gourmet dishes that we like to make, the famous savory quiche is at the top of the menu. Easy to prepare, this one also has the advantage of being available in a thousand and one ways:fig quiche, goat cheese and honey, vegetable quiche, salmon quiche etc… there is something for everyone! The main thing is that it is unctuous , by the migaine, but also tasty thanks to the spices and condiments used. To taste, with a good soup, it's even better!
To make a success of your homemade shortcrust pastry in five minutes – essential in the preparation of a savory quiche – it is important to take into account some grandmother's tips. First the ingredients, use a soft butter (soft) to mix it by hand with the flour, this will make it possible to obtain a sandy dough that holds together when cooked. Also, add the right amount of water , the dough should be quite flexible and it should not stick to your fingers.
Then, adopt the right moves , for a successful shortcrust pastry you have to be careful with sandblasting (rub the flour/butter mixture properly between your hands) and milling (crush the dough on your work surface with the palm of your hand, then push and start again until everything is smooth). But remember, do not over-handle the dough! Once the ball has formed, place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes, it will be tender and moist.
A little extra:to give your shortbread dough more flavor do not hesitate to add a teaspoon of powdered ingredients with the flour:Provencal herbs, garlic powder, sesame, cumin etc.
