Pie Crust Recipe
Recipe for Pie Crusts using a Cuisinart Food Processor. This is by far the easiest recipe for Pie Crust that I have come across.
Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Cuisinart Food Processor blade attachment
- Measuring cups
- Plastic Wrap
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 2/3 cups Flour
- 1/2 cup Ice Cold Water
- 1 cup Butter cold
Instructions
- Insert the chopping blade attachment into a food processor.
- Cut the butter into 1/4-inch cubes, then add the butter to the bowl of the Cuisinart Food Processor.
- Combine 2 2/3 cups flour and 1/2 tsp salt in the bowl of a Cuisinart Food Processor.
- Turn the food processor on until the flour and butter blend and become coarse crumbles.
- Add 1/4 cup ice cold water and then add a little at a time until the water is fully incorporated, and the dough does not stick to the sides of the bowl.
- Separate this dough in three parts for three crusts and then place each in a plastic wrap.
- Using your hands, form the dough into a flat hockey puck, let them rest for 1-hour in the fridge.
- Take the pie crust out of the fridge and then roll out the crust on a well-floured surface with a rolling pin.
- Roll it down once or twice in a direction then spin the crust in a clockwise rotation to get it into a large square or circle shape.
- Place the rolling pin in the middle of crust and flip one side over the top to carry it onto the pie pan, this is much easier than doing it with just your hands.
- Flute the edges or make a design with the prongs of a fork.
Notes
Today is Thanksgiving on November 25, 2015. I made a Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Pecan Pie, Pecan Pie, and an Apple Pie. I do believe I have created a pie baking monster!
