Quiche Lorraine

Udah lama halaman 230 di buku BAKING Martha Day ditandain buat dipraktekin. Finally the day is come, heheheee,, i already dream about the taste with a little 'touch' of my senses. Now, lets experience it with your eyes, hehhee,,,

French Flan Pastry:

For a 9 in (23 cm) flan case

7 oz (200 gr) plain fluor

1/2 tsp salt

4 0z (115 gr) butter or margarine, chilled (i used an unsalted butter)

1 egg yolk

1/4 tsp lemon juice (i used about a full of teaspoon of lime juice)

2-3 tbsp iced water

The pastry for tarts, flans and quiches is made with butter or margarine, giving a rich and crumbly result. The more fat used, the richer the pastry will be and the harder to roll out. If you have the difficulty to rolling it, you can press it into the tin instead, or roll it out between sheets of plastic wrap. Flan pastry, like shortcrust, can be made by hand or food processor.

Mixing the dough until it can be peel easily off the surface.

Press the dough into a smooth ball. Wrap in a plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
