Hot Water Pastry

Hot water is used to make the pastry with a heavy fill and has a height of about 5cm or more. Not like the pastry should be done in a cold or cool atmosphere, hot water pastry should instead be heated. Heating aims to melt fats to immediately blend in with the flour and form a strong texture. In the original recipe of fat used is lard or pork fat, but now with the higher awareness of the community about the halal food ingredients, it is used to clean substitute fats. The fat used is shortening (vegetable fat) or a mixture of shortening with butter (butter). I only use butter/butter The texture will be very crispy and fragile. The texture of this type of pastry is not fragile and tends to be somewhat harsh. Such textures are needed to withstand the heavy contents not to leak. To make this type of pastry highly recommended the surface is not too large. Hot water pastry originated from the English, commonly used to make a salty flavored pastry (savory) that contains many meat contents.

To make a hot water pastry make sure the fill/stuffing has been made before because this type of pastry must be filled and formed when the dough is still warm. If the dough is cold difficult to set.
