Easy No-fail Pie Crust
This pie crust is all about simplicity and flavor. Trust me, you won’t need to worry about flaky failures with this one!
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. This is where we set the base for our crust.
- Add the diced butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until it resembles coarse crumbs. We want that buttery goodness, so don’t rush it!
- Slowly pour in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. You might not need all the water, so keep it cool and casual.
- Once the dough forms, divide it in half, shape it into discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least one hour. This helps the crust stay nice and flaky.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat that oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one of your chilled dough discs on a floured surface. Make it as thick or thin as you like – just don’t forget to handle it gently!
- Transfer your rolled-out pie crust to a pie pan, and trim off any excess. If you’re feelin’ fancy, crimp the edges with a fork for that extra touch.
- Now it’s time to fill it up with whatever delicious filling you’re craving! Bake according to the filling instructions or until golden brown.
And there you have it! A simple yet effective pie crust that will have everyone coming back for seconds. Happy baking, y’all!
