What is the key to a Great Pie? A great Pie Dough Recipe!

Pie Dough

Enough dough for one top and bottom of a 10”pie

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. sugar

¾ cup butter or shortening (cold) cut into ½ cubes

1 1/8 cups cold water (winter you might have to add more water, summer more flour) due to humidity changes (summer high humidity, winter drier)

Preparation

Mix all dry ingredients for 30 seconds with a whisk. Remove whisk and attach dough hook. Add shortening or butter and mix for 1 minute. Add cold water and mix until dough forms a ball. Remove from bowl and divide into two equal balls. Then form each ball into a round circle about 4” round. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour.
