pie pan
January 13th, 2010
Make your own pie crust at home instead of buying ready-made ones. Homemade pie crust will make your pies more delicious. To make, mix 12 ½ cups of white flour, 2 tbsp sugar and ¼ tsp of salt. Add ½ cup cold butter that has been broken into small pieces then pour in 8 tbsp ice water. Mix everything until the dough holds together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead then divide in half. Flatter each half into a disk, wrap in saran wrap and chill for half an hour. Roll out a disk on until you make a 12″ diameter circle. Place the circle in a 9″ pie pan and trim any extra dough from the edges. Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the pie.
