"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Butter Pastry

 

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp to 5 tbsp cold water
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup cold butter



 

Preparation

1. Blend flour, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl. Cut butter
into 1/2-inch cubes and add to flour mixture. Using a pastry blender
or 2 knives, cut butter into dry mixture until it is the consistency
of coarse meal.

2. Gradually sprinkle 3 tablespoons water over flour mixture, using
a fork to work liquid into flour. Then work in just enough remaining
water so dough can be gathered into a firm ball.

3. Flatten ball slightly with the palm of your hand. Wrap pastry and
refrigerate at least until chilled, about 30 minutes. Pastry will
keep well in the refrigerator for several days. It also freezes well.

DOUBLE CRUST PIE; Follow recipe instructions given to make a 9-inch
pie shell, using 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2
