Egg Puff Recipe

Step 1

To make an egg puff dough, simply whisk two whole eggs until thickened, then add 1/4 cup (50 grams) of cold water, 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 2 tablespoons of granulated white sugar, 3 tablespoons of vegetable shortening, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.

Step 2

Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Then slowly incorporate 4 cups of all-purpose flour while mixing vigorously.

Step 4

Once the mixture is mixed properly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Step 5

You should end up with about 6 cups worth of batter.

Step 6

After removing the dough from the fridge, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it becomes thin enough to fit into a 12-inch pie plate.

Step 7

Remove the top layer of parchment paper and fill the crust with whatever filling you desire.

Step 8

Top the pie with another piece of parchment paper and place back inside the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
