Equipment
- container
- plastic wrap
- Pie plate
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups or 3 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup ice water
Instructions
- Combine flour and salt in a sealable container.
- Add cold, cubed unsalted butter and mix until it forms coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to the desired thickness.
- Transfer the crust to your pie dish and trim any excess dough.
- Fill with your desired pie filling and bake according to the specific recipe’s instructions.
Notes
- Make sure your ingredients, particularly the butter, are cold when making the dough. This helps achieve a flaky texture.
- Don’t overwork the dough. The more you handle and knead it, the tougher it will become.
- Use ice water and add it gradually to the dough. This prevents the butter from melting too soon and ensures a flaky crust.
- Don’t forget to chill the dough before rolling it out. This allows the gluten to relax and makes the dough easier to work with.
- Experiment with different fillings and don’t be afraid to get creative! Tupperware pie crust works well with both sweet and savory dishes.
