Vanilla Bean Pastry
Make on Fresco
Fantastic short pastry as it was meant to be and a standard in a lot of my desserts. You will see versions of this recipe elsewhere on this site...but usually included in the recipe I am hoping you will use it in. Some of them use vanilla bean paste...this is the original and the best with the roasted vanilla bean. A little smoky, very vanillery, totally grown up and elegant. Halve the mixture for just a pie or tart base, or make the full recipe for a double crust pie. Add apples, rhubarb, berries, lemon curd or any filling of choice to find yourself in pie heaven.

To roast a vanilla bean, place into a cold oven set to 200°C and roast exactly 10 minutes. The house will smell amazing. I usually do a couple of beans when I toast nuts. Easy. Then store in ziploc bag in the spice drawer or pantry.
