Basic Pie Crusts
Homemade pie crusts are delicious and easy to make and so much better than store bought crusts. Be brave and make up this pie crust from scratch and really enjoy those delicious pies!
Ingredients
3 cups flour
1 cup fat (can use butter, lard, shortening…)
1 tsp salt
1 cup cold water
Instructions
1
In the bowl of your food processor, combine the flour, fat and salt. Pulse everything together to cut the fat and flour together. It should resemble course corn meal when ready.
2
Remove the mixture from the food processor and and transfer to a large bowl.
3
Add the cold water to the flour mixture and using a fork, carefully mix together until loosely combined.
4
Use your fingers if needed to fingers bringing the flour mixture together into a soft dough.
5
Use the dough as needed. This recipe will make approximately 2 double crust pies or 3 single crust pies with a little dough left over. I like to bake up the leftover pie crust dusted with cinnamon and sugar for a quick and easy treat.
