The food processor is the unsung hero of the pastry kitchen, and here are 34 recipes that prove it.
, food processors are uniquely suited to an entirely different range of kitchen chores that make it just as vital to my work.
Thanks to its powerful motor and blade, a food processor is a remarkable tool for grinding chunky ingredients into a fine powder, giving stiff doughs a workout in record time, keeping fats cold as they're worked into flour, and blending toasted nuts into creamy butter. Because some of those chores can be done with other tools, I don't want to focus on all the pastry projects a food processor can technically do; I want to focus on the jobs it does best. These are the kinds of chores that are accomplished faster, more easily, and more efficiently with a good food processor.
It's important to note that I'm talking about sturdy, large format machines, and not mini-choppers or"prep assistants." For more on what makes a good machine tick, see ourI have a Breville Sous Chef at home, but enjoy using the Magimix and Cuisinart models we have in the Serious Eats kitchen, too, so there's plenty of brands that can work for everyone.Quick breads, like biscuits, muffins, and scones, are traditionally made by combining the butter and flour up front.
It's a lengthy process when done by hand or with a pastry knife, which allows the butter to warm over time. This can often make doughs sticky and difficult to handle—hence why so many recipes include a step for chilling the dough before it's rolled and cut. Put a food processor on the case, though, and these chores can be done with cold butter in a few seconds flat, keeping the finished dough cool and easy to handle .
