How To Make Easy HOMEMADE PIE CRUST Recipe

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option while margarine is often less expensive.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine 2.5 cups of flour, 0.5 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Pulse to combine.

Dice 0.5 pound of unsalted cold butter into small pieces and transfer it into the food processor.

Pulse the mixture until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized pieces, then stop mixing.

Add 6 tablespoons of ice water and pulse just until moist clumps or small balls form.

To test if enough water has been added, press some of the dough between your fingertips; it should stick together.

Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and pull it together quickly with your hands without kneading.

Divide the dough in half and flatten to form two equal disks.

Wrap each disk in a sheet of plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
