Yield: 1.00 Each

Recipe Description

This recipe is just enough to build a double crusted pie. It is as flaky or mealy as you make it. Making pie dough depends more on technique than the recipe.

Ingredients

Method & Notes

The easiest way to make perfect pie dough is the food processor. Before you start you should put the bowl and blade in the freezer for half an hour.

1. Put the dry ingredients in the bowl, pulse to mix
2. Sprinkle the butter and shortening on top, then pulse until mixed in. The shortening should be cut into pieces about the size of peas.
3. Add a little water at a time, pulsing in between.
4. When the dough will just hold together it is ready to chill.
5. Form into a ball and chill for at least 2 hours before rolling and using.
