Instructions to make Hot water pastry:
- Sift flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl
- Now, you can EITHER 1) heat your fat and water to boiling on the stove OR 2) Run your water through a clean coffee maker and melt your fat in the microwave. Either way is fine as long as they're boiling hot for the next step
- Move fast but be safe! Dump your hot fat and boiling water into your dry ingredients and combine until a soft dough forms
- Let it rest until its cool enough to handle safely, then knead until it stiffens up, I usually rest it 10 minutes or so then knead it just until stiff (use a lightly floured surface obviously)
- Now you can either use it immediately or you can wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just take it out, roll it or shape it however you wish and stuff it!
- Bake according to your recipe, it blind bakes well too provided you dock it
- This makes enough for 2 9" pie crusts or 1 13x9" pan (bottom only) I don't usually mature it and you can use any kind of fat: butter, lard, shortening, I've even used hamburger grease straight from the pan.
