Chef Jonny’s brand new blog

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Welcome everyone, I’m excited about my new blog. Here is a recipe to get you all started off.

Chef Johnny Vee’s Favorite Pie Crust

My friend and co-instructor at the Las Cosas Cooking School, Mary Cech, makes the flakiest pie crust I have ever tasted. It’s so light it’s almost like puff pastry. Make sure to bake your pie on a cookie sheet, there is so much butter in this crust, a bit runs out, but that only increases the tenderness of the crust. Watch for Mary’s “Pie Workshop” at Las Cosas, www.lascosascooking.com

Yields: 1 9” double crust pie

PIE DOUGH:

3 1/3rd cups All Purpose flour
1 ¼ t. salt
1 ½ cups unsalted butter – cold
3/4 – 1 cup ice water

Method:
1. Combine flour & salt in a large bowl.
2. Cut butter into walnut size pieces and add to flour. With your hands, work butter into flour until butter is in pea sized pieces.
3. Add water and toss dough until it sticks together, be careful not to break butter into smaller pieces while blending in the water.

4.Turn onto table, knead slightly, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes or until needed. (blueberry pie recipe is here) (top of page)
