Easy quiche pastry

This recipe makes 2 quiches

2/3 cup milk
125g butter
2 cups self raising flour (or plain flour with 2 teaspoons baking soda)

Heat the milk and butter together until the butter is melted. Stir in the flour. Divide dough in half. Press the pastry into 2 quiche or pie dishes with your fingers so that it is fairly even throughout.

For each quiche filling, you need about 4 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, some cheese, salt, pepper, and whatever else you like. Try: artichoke, spinach, mushrooms, bacon, leek, capsicum, (salmon & dill), onion in whatever combination takes your fancy. Whatever you'd like in an omlette should work.

Bake at 180oC (350oF) for 20-30 min (until egg is firm).

Wow...super easy and great recipe. My 4 and 2 year old daughters loved it. In fact little Rachel (2) said "delicious" for the first time she ever used that word!

Thanks

Just stumbled across your recipe and must say was super easy to make and tasted great! Although I think mine was a little thick and turned out a bit cakey, would be great for a dessert pastry too!

At last - easiest and tasty pastry recipe. One question though - why do you recommend self-raising flour for it? thank you

Hi Anya,
I'm not sure if you're asking why use a rising agent, or why use self-raining instead of plain plus baking powder, for example. In response to the second one, either is fine - I am Australian and SR flour is used very commonly here, whereas in the US, for example, it's not. In response to the first one: it gives it a lovely crumbly, not too cakey texture.

1 do we need sugar in pastry for a savoury quiche? But most importantly do you simply try to press the dough into a dish or roll it out to the size of the dish first?
