The ingredients for Pate Brisee are:

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch of granulated sugar
5 1/3 T unsalted butter, chilled
3 T shortening (Crisco), chilled
1/4 c. ice water

Here is how you make Pate Brisee:

1. Sift the flour, salt and sugar together into a bowl, add butter and shortening and cut them into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender until mixture is like coarse meal2. Sprinkle on and blend in enough ice water to make a worlable dough, mixing in water lightly with a fork.3. Turn dough out onto your work surface and, using the heel of your hand, smear the dough away fro you, about 1/4 cup at a time. Scrape up the smeared dough into a ball, wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.4. Unwrap dough, place on floured work surface or between 2 sheets of parchment paper, and pound it a few times to softwn it. Roll iti out 1/8 inch thick, or to desired thickness.5. Drape dough over quiche pan or tart pans, ease it into the pan without stretching, pat into place, trim off excess, and crimp edge if desired. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F7. Remove chilled dough from refrigerator and prick the bottom and sides well with a fork. Line the pan with foil or wax paper, fill with beans or rice to weight the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, until dough is just beginning to color.8. Remove from oven, remove weights and lining, and cool slightly. You now have a partially baked pie shell which can be filled and rebaked for a quiche or tart.9. For a fully baked shell, for a fresh fruit tart, for example, remove weights and lining from shell after 10 minutes and continue to bake until it is golden brown and crisply flaky, about 25 minutes total. Cool completely before filling.Serving Size: Makes about 8 small tart shells or one 11 inch tartNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AMGIFF.
