Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter 2 sticks, cubed, frozen
  • 3 cups fresh milled soft white wheat flour (1.5 cups wheat berries) Can use regular all purpose if you don't have fresh milled.
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp ice cold water

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

  1. Cut the butter into cubes and put in the freezer for 20 minutes. I just cut into tablespoon slices by the markings on the butter stick wrapper.
  2. Add the flour and salt to the food processor. Pulse to combine.
  3. Add chilled butter and process for 10 seconds. It will look like coarse bread crumbs.
  4. Add the eggs and process for 5 seconds.
  5. Add ice water and process for 20 seconds. The dough should now start clumping together.
  6. Turn the mixture out onto a floured work surface. If using for pies, split it in half and roll out to desired size.
  7. Move to parchment or wax paper to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour. Then use as instructed in whatever recipe you're using that calls for a crust.
  8. For later use you can wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 3 days, or freeze for 1 month. Bring refrigerated pie crust back to room temperature at least 30 minutes before rolling. Thaw frozen pie dough overnight in the refrigerator, then bring back to room temperature at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
    If you need this to be fully baked for a recipe bake at 375℉ for 15 minutes, check and prick holes with a fork so bubbles don't form. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden.

Notes

If you'd like your pie crust on the sweeter side you can add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the flour mixture.
