The Flakiest Pie Crust Ever
Updated: Sep 27, 2022
Grandma never told you her secret pie crust recipe? Not to worry, the following recipe is just as amazing if not better than her recipe! This pie crust is super easy to make, ultra-flaky, and works with just about any pie recipe!!! Is your mouth watering already? Let's get cooking!!
Ingredients:
-2 cups all-purpose flour
-2 tbsp granulated sugar
-1/2 cup cold butter (salted or unsalted, your choice.)
-1 pinch salt
-3 to 5 tbsp ice water
Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, and salt. Cut in the butter. (I used a biscuit cutter for the ultra-perfect crust. However, if you do not have one, you can use a cheese grater to grate the butter into the bowl. Or, chop into tiny pieces with a knife and use your hands to combine.) Once the mix starts to stick together and the butter is worked in, make a well in the center of the mix. add 2 tbsp ice water to start. Knead to combine. Continue adding more ice water until you have a rough dough forming. Knead for 30-45 seconds, or until it can stay together and feels like cookie dough. Pat out into a 1/2 inch disk and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4-12 hours, or overnight. Pair with any pie recipe you'd like, and bake accordingly. Enjoy your freshly-baked pie!!!
Helpful tips and tricks:
-flour your work surface
-do not over-knead dough
-make sure butter always stays cold
-always follow directions to the best of your ability
-do not add all the water at once
-be patient, the perfect pie takes time!
-enjoy the pie you create!!!
