Description
An easy, buttery 3 Ingredient Pie Crust that comes together quickly and works for sweet or savory pies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
Instructions
- 1. In a large bowl, combine flour and cold cubed butter.
- 2. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough just comes together.
- 4. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 5. Roll out on a floured surface and use as directed for pies, tarts, or quiches.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt or sugar depending on whether your pie is savory or sweet.
- Keep ingredients very cold to ensure a flaky crust.
- This recipe makes enough dough for one 9-inch pie crust; double for a double-crust pie.
