Hi and Assalaamu 3alaykum.
I'm Sandra and welcome to my bijou, tiny, kitchen.
Today I'm going to make all-butter pie crust.
Pie crusts are very easy to make, delicious, and great to have around.
They store well in the freezer and are ready-to-go when you need them.
They are versatile and useful for desserts or form the base for savory dishes such as quiche.
Come along with me as I demonstrate how I make All-Butter Pie Crust.
Middle
This recipe makes one 9 to 10-inch pie crust.
The ingredients you will need are 1 cup of butter, cubed and chilled.
Two and one-quarter cups of All-Purpose Flour.
One teaspoon of salt.
And 4 to 5 teaspoons of ice water.
I will mix the ingredients in the food processor. But, if you do not have one, you can use the pastry cutter. Or, your hands also work well. The food processor is fast. …show more content…
Pulse to mix.
Pulse until the mixture is about the size of peas.
Add one tablespoon of water at a time.
Pulse a few times after each addition of water.
Keep adding until large clumps form.
Remove from the food processor and form into a ball.
Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Remove from the refrigerator and place on a floured surface.
Using a rolling-pin, roll the ball out into a disc.
Keep working it until the disc is about 9 to 10-inches.
Carefully roll the disc on the rolling-pin and place into the tart pan.
Prick the crust with a fork. Pricking ensures the crust will bake evenly. I made lemon meringue pie once. But, I forgot to prick the crust. The result was a crust which was puffy in some areas and flat in others.
I learned my lesson.
Prick the crust.
Now the pie crust is ready to go into the freezer.
I put it into a gallon size storage bag.
It can store for up to three months.
Here is how the frozen All-Butter Pie Crust looks.
