Buttercrust Pastry Dough – Good Friday or Anytime

I knew better than to expect you guys to wait until next
week for this buttercrust pastry dough, after teasing you with its flaky
seductiveness during the apple hand pies video. Yes, the audience has spoken,
and basically said, “post this before Easter or else.”


As I mention in the clip, you really want to use a food
processor for this. You can certainly use a wire pastry blender and do it by
hand, but it’ll take a while, and mixing in the ice water is so much easier
with whirling blades. I’m not sure I’ve ever achieved that same gorgeous
“breadcrumb” texture blending by hand.

If you decide to use this pastry for a savory recipe, I’d
suggest cutting the sugar down a bit, but don’t be tempted to leave it out. I
used the leftover dough from the apple turnovers video, which had all the
sugar, for some duck pot pies, and it was really good, but maybe just a tiny
bit sweet.


If you’re going to use this recipe for some Easter pies or
brunch desserts, I hope you like the dough as much as I did. Just make sure
your butter cubes are frozen, and your ice water is, well, ice-cold water.
These are the keys. Do that, and you’ll have a pastry dough that tastes, feels,
and sounds fantastic. I hope you give it a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for about 1 pound pie dough (enough for 1 large pie or 4 turnovers):
2 cups flour (measure carefully, do not pack!)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (4 oz)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
6 tbsp ice water

Chicken Pot Pie Soup

The taste of chicken pot pie, in a soup!

It’s chilly and rainy here today, perfect for making soup. This popular Skinnytaste soup recipe is from the archives, which I posted over a year ago. I never really loved the photo so I gave it a face lift and hopefully it will inspire you to make it this week for your family.

Chicken pot pie is ultimate comfort food and this creamy, chunky soup is loaded with chicken, potatoes, mushrooms, peas, carrots, corn, celery, onions and green beans in every bite. You can modify this with the vegetables you like to suit your taste. If you want to get fancy, you can serve this in hollowed out bread bowls or serve it with cut-out baked pie crust (extra points), but I often make them with these Easy Garlic Cheddar Biscuits[1].

This recipe requires cooked chicken breast. If you have raw chicken, poach 3 breasts in water for 15 minutes, then remove and dice into bite-sized pieces. This soup is super filling! One cup fills me up, but if you want a larger serving, I posted nutritional info for a larger bowl as well.

Leftovers make a great lunch!!

Create a slurry by combining 1/2 cup of the cold water with flour in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Set aside.

Pour remaining water and milk into a large pot and slowly bring to a boil. Add celery, onion, mushrooms, chicken bullion, thyme, fresh pepper, frozen vegetables and return to a boil. Partially cover and simmer on low until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove lid, add potatoes and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, and slowly whisk in slurry, stirring well as you add. Cook another 2-3 minutes, until soup thickens, adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve.
