Kochutensilien

  • Mixing Bowl – For combining dry ingredients and butter.

  • ¼ cup ice-cold water more if needed

Anleitungen
 

  • Prepare Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
  • Cut in Butter: Add cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  • Add Water: Gradually add ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix gently until the dough begins to form a ball. Add more water if needed.
  • Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. If it gets sticky, add more flour as necessary.
  • Fit into Pie Pan: Transfer the dough to your pie pan. Gently press it into the pan and trim excess dough, leaving about 1 inch around the edges. Fold the edges under and crimp them.
  • Bake: For blind-baking, poke holes in the crust with a fork and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. If using with a filled pie, follow your pie recipe’s instructions for baking.
