made with All Butter - THIS IS THE ONE!
The Quest for the Perfect Pie Crust ...Butter makes the best pie crust.
1. Add all your dry ingredients to a chilled glass bowl and toss the mixture with a fork.
2. Freeze butter and grate, add to the flour bowl.
3. Using spatula, toss butter into the flour. Stop when the butter is well coated.
4. Whip the ice cold water and oil until it looks cloudy and the mixture looks a little foamy. Quickly add two thirds of this to the dry ingredients and toss with a fork. If it is not coming together add the remaining liquid.
Do Not over work the dough. It will make it tough.
5. The dough should look somewhat dry but come together when squeezed in your hands.
6. Now divide this mixture in half to make two balls by squeezing it all together. Compress and flatten the balls to form two large disks.
7. Wrap disks tightly with plastic wrap or in a plastic bag, and chill for 30-60 minutes. You can freeze them for two months by adding a foil wrap to the covered disks.
8. Your dough is now ready for your favorite pie recipe.
Happy baking!
