Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Food Processor Pie Crust.
Step 1
Start by measuring the flour into your food processor equipped with the standard blade.
Step 2
Next, add the chilled, cubed shortening and unsalted butter to the flour, creating a rich base for your crust.
Step 3
Sprinkle in a pinch of salt, secure the lid, and pulse the mixture three times, each pulse lasting three counts, to achieve a light blend of ingredients.
Step 4
With the motor running, slowly drizzle in ice water until the dough begins to take on a crumbly texture.
Step 5
Be cautious not to overmix; you want to stop just before it forms a cohesive ball to ensure a tender crust.
Step 6
Once crumbly, transfer the mixture to a bowl and use your hands to gently shape it into a ball, squeezing it lightly to help it come together.
Step 7
If the dough feels too dry and crumbles apart, add a few drops of water to achieve the right consistency.
Step 8
Wrap your dough in wax paper or plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Step 9
This resting period is crucial for developing flavor and making it easier to roll out for your pie masterpiece.
