====== Easy Homemade Pie Crust ====== Prep 10 m | Ready In 40 m | Yield 2 crusts "This pie crust is my personal favorite and is made using a food processor, which makes cutting the butter into the flour very simple. By the way, you can make a double batch of this, and freeze the individually wrapped dough for future pie-related adventures." ===== Ingredients ===== * 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour * 1 cup unsalted butter - chilled, cut into tablespoon-size pieces * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 7 tablespoons ice water * 1 tablespoon cider vinegar ===== Halved Ingredients ===== * 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour * 1/2 cup unsalted butter - chilled, cut into tablespoon-size pieces * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 3 1/2 tablespoons ice water * 1/2 tablespoon cider vinegar ===== Directions ===== - Combine flour, salt, and butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 1-second pulses. - Stir water and vinegar in a small bowl. - Pour half the ice water and vinegar mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Pulse to combine, about 3 (1-second) pulses. Pour in remaining ice water and vinegar mixture. Pulse until mixture just starts to come together, about 8 (1-second) pulses. - Turn dough out onto a wooden surface, pat into round shape and divide in half. Form each half into a disc about 5 inches wide. - Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until ready to use. ===== Notes ===== For my small Kitchen Aid "food processor" use the halved ingredients. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/220996/easy-homemade-pie-crust/
