Herb and Walnut Pie Crust Leaves
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until finely chopped.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, chopped walnuts, fresh herbs, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
-
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use leaf-shaped cookie cutters to cut out pie crust leaves.
-
Transfer the leaves to the prepared baking sheet and brush with an egg wash if desired.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Repeat with the remaining dough.
-
Allow the pie crust leaves to cool before using them as a garnish or serving them as a snack.
