Pie Crust

Posted on 21 November 2012 by Cathy

This is the easiest and just the best way to make pie crust!

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ice water


Measure the flour into the processor with the regular blade attached


Cut the butter into cubes and add to the bowl


Add the shortening


Add salt and pulse three times with three counts per pulse to lightly mix the ingredients


Turn it to on and pour ice water into the bowl until starts to get noticeably crumbly


This is what it will look like


Stop the machine, dump the crumbly dough into a bowl


Gather the dough into a ball with your hand until it sticks together


Wrap your dough ball in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour


To use the dough unwrap it but leave it on the plastic wrap


Roll out to fit your pan


Transfer to your pan


Shape the edge

You are now ready to bake blind or fill it up with something wonderful
