Simple Homemade Pie Crust

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Simple Homemade Pie Crust.

1. Step 1

   To start making your delicious pie crust, grab your food processor and add the flour, chilled butter, and a pinch of salt.

2. Step 2

   Pulse the mixture about ten times for one second each, until it looks like coarse crumbs—this is the key to a flaky crust! While that’s blending, take a small bowl and whisk together some ice water and cider vinegar.

3. Step 3

   Once your flour mixture is ready, pour in half of the ice water mixture and pulse it together for about three one-second bursts.

4. Step 4

   Then, add the rest of the ice water mixture and pulse again until the dough begins to come together, which should take around eight one-second pulses.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to bring your dough to life! Transfer it onto a clean wooden surface and gently pat it into a circle.

6. Step 6

   Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a disc that’s about five inches wide.

7. Step 7

   Wrap each disc snugly in plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

8. Step 8

   This chilling time is crucial for achieving that perfect texture.

9. Step 9

   Once your dough is chilled and ready, you can use it in your favorite pie recipe.
