I’ve spent quite some time trying to make the Perfect Pie Crust<\/strong> and this one is it!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n So what constitutes a really delicious pie crust? I suppose it’s matter of opinion, but to me, I like one that’s flakey<\/strong>, buttery<\/strong> and of course – easy to make<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Pie crust is actually really easy to make, and also fairly inexpensive.<\/p>\n But there are a few key things to keep in mind when making your own crust, and I’m going to share them with you!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My preferred method is with a food processor. I like this method because you’re working with butter, and the more you handle the butter\/dough, the less flakey the final results will be.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you’ve combined your butter and flour to make a course, sand-like mixture you’re going to add some ice cold water into the mix.<\/p>\n Again, you’re trying to keep things nice and chilled, which will give you that nice and flakey crust!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The amount of water needed may vary based on your surrounding climate.<\/p>\n It’s best to start out with just 1\/4 cup and add more if needed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Place your dough on a lightly floured surface and quickly form it into a ball.<\/p>\n Separate the ball into two equal parts and then shape those balls into flat discs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wrap your discs in plastic wrap and then place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill and firm up a bit.<\/p>\n If you’re using your dough right after that 30 minutes you’re good to start rolling. If you’re saving your dough for a later time, you’ll want to just make sure you let your dough sit on the counter for about 10-15 minutes before rolling it out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This recipe calls for mostly butter with the addition of a few tablespoons of shortening. I have an ALL BUTTER recipe<\/a> as well, that works just as great.<\/p>\n Personally, between the two, I find that the added shortening helps with that flakey crust just a little more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This pie dough is perfect for Pumpkin Pie<\/a>, Raspberry Pie<\/a> or even making Mini Shepherd’s Pot Pies<\/a>!<\/p>\n Make sure you don\u2019t miss a thing!
