Itās pie season! Hereās the easiest and most delicious and tender pie crust recipe (below), from my momās kitchen. Itās the one I grew up on, and the only one I ever use!
Sorry not sorry for this ridiculous format. I posted this on my family Snapchat and then decided to share with you guys here. Also sorry not sorry for the long windedness and over sharing of mixing science. Yāall should know by now I canāt help it.
Single Pie Crust:
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter or shortening
2-4 Tbsp cold water
Pulse flour, salt and butter in the blender or food processor until sandy texture. Add in water 1 Tbsp at a time and pulse until dough forms into a ball. Roll out and use immediately, or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Take out 10-15 minutes before ready to roll it for easier handling.
Use for everything from fruit pies, hand pies, savory pot pies, and even blind baked for tarts or chocolate silk pies!
