Directions: |
Directions:Pour all of the flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of the food processor and pulse for a few seconds. Divide the frozen cubes of butter into two batches, and place the first batch into the bowl and pulse button for 2-3 seconds. After 2-3 seconds, it will sound as if you’re only mixing the flour by itself in the bowl. Repeat this step again for the second batch of butter.
Remove the pusher from the spout. Turn your food processor on (don’t pulse it). Pour a small and steady stream of ice water into the spout to mix with the dough. You may or may not use the entire ¼ cup.
When dough will start to bunch up into one large ball stop pouring the water into the bowl. Allow the ball of dough to clump up a little more. Carefully empty the bowl onto a cool surface that has been dusted with flour. Roll the dough into a ball and flatten. Wrap the pie dough disc in plastic wrap refrigerate at least an hour to rest. Take out the pie crust from the fridge and lightly dust with flour. Let rest for about 10 minutes. Roll the pie crust and place in a pan. Before baking your homemade pie, place the crust in the fridge for 30 minutes first. The pie crust needs some time to rest and firm up before being baked. |
