A simple yet foolproof pie crust recipe has gained attention for its straightforward approach, requiring just five basic ingredients—flour, cold butter, salt, ice water, and apple cider vinegar. The method emphasizes chilling the butter and using a food processor for even distribution before shaping the dough with the beggar’s purse technique. Ideal for both blind baking and filled pies, the recipe includes step-by-step instructions for achieving a crisp, sturdy crust without shortcuts. Home bakers and dessert enthusiasts may find this a reliable alternative to traditional recipes.
Ingredients 300 g all-purpose flour 20 tablespoons salted butter, very cold 1 teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons ice water 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar Directions Chill butter cubes in the freezer for 10 minutes. Combine flour and salt in a food processor. Add cold butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add ice water and vinegar, pulsing until dough begins to come together. Transfer dough to a floured tea towel and use the beggar's purse method to gently bring it together. Divide into two disks, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Roll dough to ⅛-inch thickness and fit into a 9-inch pie dish. If blind baking, bake at 375°F with pie weights for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove weights and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes. Cool completely before adding filling. Full recipe: https://www.thebakerstablesc.com/desserts/the-best-easy-pie-crust-recipe/ submitted by /u/Eboettn [link] [comments]
