Ingredients
- 225 g butter (2 american sticks, 1 eurpoean)
- 200 g wheat berries, soft
- 15 g water, cold (30 - 45 grams ICE cold water)
- 1 g sea salt (a pinch)
- 3 g sugar, granulated (1 tsp)
- Quiche Ingredients:
- 200 g egg, whole (4 eggs)
Directions
-
Make the Pie Crusts:
-
Mill the flour and cool it off in the fridge or freezer.
-
Add ingredients to a mixing bowl (cold is great, but not necessary) or food processor.
-
Use a mixer paddle, pastry cutter, or food processor to mix the flour and fat together until the fat is CORNMEAL sized.
-
Slowly add 1 tbsp at a time of COLD water (ice water would be best) until the mixture comes together as you mix with the paddle, pastry cutter, or food processor. You won’t need much! 1 - 2 tbsp.
-
Roll out on a floured surface, and bake as your pie directions state. You can also prepare and freeze these for quick pie wins later.
Make the Quiche
-
Preheat your oven to 400 F.
-
Whip the eggs, add the other ingredients. You can also do this in a food processor if you just want a quick and dirty version (less fluffy).
-
Pour the mixture into a pie plate with 1 crust pressed into the bottom.
-
Bake 25-30 minutes, remove when a knife comes out clean or when the filling is 150 - 160 F in the middle. It will solidify when it cools.
