Are you looking for a perfect pie crust recipe that is buttery, flaky and easy to make? Look no further than Sally's Baking Addiction all butter pie crust recipe. This recipe is perfect for both sweet and savory pies, and it's so delicious that you'll want to eat it on its own.
Ingredients:
For this recipe, you will need:
- 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
Be sure to use unsalted butter in this recipe, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the crust. Also, make sure the butter is cold so that it doesn't melt when you are mixing the dough.
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
2. Add the cubed butter to the mixing bowl and use a pastry cutter, a fork or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Continue until the mixture resembles coarse sand with some larger pieces of butter remaining.
3. Add 1/4 cup of ice water to the mixture and stir gently until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
4. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, flatten each piece into a disc, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days.
5. When you're ready to use the dough, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Roll out the dough into a circle on a floured surface and transfer it to a pie dish.
6. Fill the pie crust as desired and bake according to your recipe's instructions.
Tips:
Here are some tips to ensure your pie crust turns out perfectly:
- Use cold butter and ice water to keep the dough from becoming too warm.
- Don't overwork the dough, as this can result in a tough crust.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out to prevent it from sticking to the surface.
- Use a light hand when rolling out the dough, and turn it frequently to ensure even thickness.
- Trim the edges of the crust with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors for a neat appearance.
