晴朗 Your sweet dough rocks

I had to make two batches the first one would not work with me. But I was a woman on a mission. The second batch worked so well that I even managed a lattice top crust. Thank you for breaking the pie crust curse of many years.

      晴朗 was kind enough to give me this recipe because I could never get my pie crusts to come out right. Now I can. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Now I have to go to the farmers market for more fruit. Just so I can make another pie this weekend. LOL

      Sweet dough crust....
      500g All purpose flour sifted
      240g Cake flour sifted
      140g granulated sugar
      450g butter cold and cut into small cubes

      60g buttermilk
      60g whipping cream
      60 ml yolks around three

      if you have a kitchen aid this would be the easiest, just put the flours and the sugar in the bowl and then add the butter, otherwise get a pastry cutter and cut the butter into the flour mix until it's pea sized.

      mix the wet into it quickly so that it just comes together, it's really much eassier to do in a kitchen aid, so you don't overwork the pastry ...

      Keep in mind that when you roll it out you don't want to stretch the dough in any way and if you have any excess only reroll the extra in by a third and do this only once, then throw the excess away....oh and rollit as thin as you can, I like to almost see the counter through it when I 'm rolling it , and don't go hog wild with the flour on the counter , just enough so it doesn't stick.
