PIE CRUST
MAKING
Alfonso III B. Santos
Ingredients
This recipe will form enough pie dough for one double-
crusted pie or two single-crusted pies. Start with 12 1/2
ounces of all-purpose flour (that's about 2 1/2 cups), 2
tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 1/2 sticks of
cold unsalted butter (20 tablespoons), cut into pats, and 6
tablespoons of cold water.
Step 1: Combine the Dry Ingredients
Combine salt, sugar, and 2/3 of the flour in a food
processor and pulse a few times until they are evenly
incorporated.
Step 2: Add the Butter
Scatter the butter chunks evenly over the top of the flour
mixture.
Step 3: Pulse to Incorporate
Seal the processor and pulse it to start breaking up the
butter. In a typical pie crust recipe, you stop when the
butter is in pea-sized pieces. But this time, we're gonna
keep going.
Step 4: Keep Pulsing!
Keep going until no dry flour remains and the mixture
resembles a dough that collects in clumps.
Step 5: Add the Remaining Flour
Spread the dough out around the bottom of the food
processor bowl using a rubber spatula, then sprinkle it
with the remaining flour.
Step 6: Pulse One Last Time
Pulse the dough one last time to incorporate, about 5
short pulses. The moist dough should break up, with
plenty of dry flour still surrounding it.
Step 7: Transfer to Bowl and Add Water
Transfer the dough to a bowl using a rubber spatula and
sprinkle with the water.
Step 8: Fold Dough
Use the spatula to fold the dough over itself,
incorporating the water.
Step 9: Continue Folding
Continue folding the dough until it forms one solid ball.
Step 10: Transfer to a Floured Bench
Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface. This
dough will be quite a bit more moist than a traditional
dough. Don't be afraid to use a little extra flour!
Step 11: Divide Dough in Half
Use a bench scraper to divide the dough into two even
pieces.
Step 12: Shape and Refrigerate
Shape the dough into two 4-inch disks. Wrap them tightly
in plastic and refrigerate them for at least 2 hours and up
to 3 days before proceeding.
Step 13: Dust Generously With Flour
When ready to shape the dough, pull out one ball, set it
on a well-floured work surface, and sprinkle with more
flour.
Step 14: Start Rolling
Use a tapered rolling pin to start rolling the dough out
into a circle, lifting the dough and rotating it while rolling
to achieve an even shape.
Step 15: Finish Rolling
Continue rolling, changing the angle of your rolling pin as
you go to get an even shape and thickness. The finished
dough should overhang your pie plate by an inch or two.
Step 16: Transfer to Pie Plate
Pick up the dough by carefully rolling it around your
rolling pin, using your bench scraper to help lift it off the
work surface. Unroll it over a pie plate.
Step 17: Fit It In
Gently lift and fit the dough into the pie plate, getting
down into the corners.
Step 18: Trim
For a single-crusted pie, use a pair of scissors to trim the
dough so that it overhangs the edge by 1/2 inch all
around. For a double-crusted pie, at this stage, fill it and
drape your second round of pie dough over the top. Trim
it to a 1/2-inch overhang along with the lower crust.
Step 19: Tuck
Tuck the overhanging edge under itself all the way around
the pie. (If making a double-crusted pie, tuck both the top
and bottom crust edges together under the bottom crust.)
Step 20: Flute
Flute the edges of the pie crust using the forefinger of one
hand and the thumb and forefinger of the other.
Step 21: Finished!
The single-crust pie shell is ready to be blind-baked or
filled. For a double-crusted pie, brush with an egg white,
sprinkle with sugar, and cut vent holes in the top with a
sharp knife before baking.
