How to Make Tender, Flaky Pie Crust
Recipe courtesy of Cristina Valencia and the Jordan Winery’s YouTube Channel
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 8 ounces cold butter, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ice water
Directions
- To make the pie dough, mix dry ingredients with cold butter on low in a stand mixer to incorporate most of the butter, leaving some hazelnut-size pieces. Turn the mixer off and add 3/4 of the ice water all at once. Mix until dough starts to come together, adding more water if it looks too dry.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and finish mixing by hand. To mix, flatten dough and fold it over itself two to three times. The dough should be mostly put together and slightly loose. Do not knead the dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
