Easy homemade pie crust

By raegrifftie

Ingredients

• 1-1/4 cup flour
• 1 stick of butter
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

1. Add flour, softened butter and salt to a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it forms little
balls. Add in water slowly and turn the processor on for a few seconds. You may need more
or less water, so start with a little and check the consistency. Add more if necessary.
2. The mixture should still be in small pieces. Remove it from the processor and form into a
ball. If it is too soft, put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Dust a rolling pin with flour and
roll the dough out on a piece of waxed paper until it is large enough to cover your pie plate.
Lay over pie plate, crimp the ends and fill with whatever filling you wish. For pies that
require longer baking times, you may need to cover the crust with foil to prevent over
browning. Bake according to the directions for the pie you are baking.
3. Double the recipe for pies that require a top crust or make a little extra and use cookie
cutters if you want to add fun shapes to your pies.
