Since I am interested in quiches, it did not take me long before I decided to learn to make the pastry by myself. Whenever I bought a pastry sheet at the supermarket, my little conscience told me: “What if we do it ourselves? Sure it takes less than ten minutes… There is no need to buy packaged, right? ” However, at first I always ended up covered in flour. Yes, it’s true, I was not good at kneading… 🙁 But I found another way faster, easier and cleaner: Using a food processor.
Another advantage of making the pastry at home is that you can use quality butter, instead of the bad fat used in industrial preparations.
