Homemade Pie Crust

Pie Crust Recipe
 
Author:
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup all purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick cold butter cut in pieces
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons ice cold water ( all ice removed)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400º F.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add in butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  3. Distribute the water over the mixture and pulse until the water is well-distributed and the mixture holds together like dry clay.
  4. Dump mixture onto a floured board, knead a time or two, form into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  6. Pound dough with a rolling pin a few times to soften the butter. On a well floured board, roll into an 11 inch circle.
  7. Place the dough in a 9 inch pie plate. Roll up the edges and crimp with your fingers or fork. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork a few times. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  8. Place a large circle of parchment paper in the center of the chilled crust, and fill with a pound of dried beans (you can reuse them for this purpose again and again).
  9. Bake for 15 minutes with the beans in. Remove from the oven, take out the beans parchment paper, and bake again for about 10 minutes, or until the center starts to turn golden brown.
