Hot water pastry is one of the most favored of current trending foods in the world. It is simple, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions every day. They are nice and they look fantastic. Hot water pastry is something that I’ve loved my whole life.

To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have hot water pastry using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Hot water pastry:

1. Make ready 2 cup all-purpose flour
2. Make ready 1 cup hot water
3. Take 1/2 cup of ANY kind of fat
4. Get 1 tsp salt
5. Make ready 1 extra flour for kneading
6. Get utensils
7. Prepare 1 Mixing bowl
8. Take 1 your hands
9. Get 1 cutting board or counter top
10. Get 1 coffee pot or stove top

Steps to make Hot water pastry:

1. Sift flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl
2. 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
3. Move fast but be safe! Dump your hot fat and boiling water into your dry ingredients and combine until a soft dough forms
4. 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)
5. 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!
6. Bake according to your recipe, it blind bakes well too provided you dock it
7. 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. You can also season it with various seasonings or spices instead of salt. It makes a nice flaky pastry that is also quite sturdy if you wish to mold your pie instead of using a pan
