Pie Crust for 9 inch pie

Ingredients: 1 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cup sweet cream salted butter (very cold) and a little bit over 1/4 cup of ice water.

Put flour, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until butter is incorporated. Do this by pulsing because you don’t want the butter to get warm. Slowly pour in the ice water while processing. Stop after dough starts to form. Over processing will result in a tough dough. Flip over on to a sheet of cling wrap and form into a flattened dome. Wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and roll it out. Using parchment paper dusted with flour to roll it out works best. Place into pan and using your fingers form the edge. Don’t worry how it looks…the best pies always have that homemade rustic look.

For quiche or any recipe that calls for a pre-baked pie crust, *dock the pie crust with a fork all over to include the sides. This prevents it from puffing up during baking. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

*docking-a term that means poking holes in the dough.
