Flaky Butter Pie Crust

This is a great recipe for a butter pie crust, which is much healthier than having to use hydrogenated oils to make a good pie crust as people typically do…

Makes one 9-inch crust.

Ingredients:

  • 1.25 cups all purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup butter, chilled and diced
  • 0.25 cup ice water

Directions:

Combine flour and salt well. Cut cold butter into small chunks. Put butter in freezer for ten minutes, then add to flour mixture. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Place in freezer for ten minutes. Roll out on wax paper.

Press evenly into bottom and sides of 9-inch deep dish pie plate.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Poke bottom of crust 2-3 times spaced evenly with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before filling.
