Buttermilk Pie Crust Dough image

I have been making this pie crust since the recipe came out in Bon Appetit in l99l. This recipe makes up enough for 2 crust pie and is definately very forgiving in the handling of it!!!

Time 20m

Yield 2 crusts

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, diced (chilled and unsalted)
1/2 cup vegetable shortening, chilled
1/4 cup buttermilk, plus
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in large bowl. Add butter and shortening. Cut in using hands or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add buttermilk and stir with fork until moist clumps form. (Dough can also be prepared in processor. Using on/off turns, cut butter and shortening into dry ingredients until coarse meal forms. Add buttermilk and process just until moist clumps form.) Press together to form dough.
  • Divide dough in half. Gather dough into balls; flatten into disks. Wrap separately and chill 1 hour.
  • Note: Can be prepared ahead of time. Refrigerate 1 week or freeze 1 month. Let dough stand at room temperature to soften slightly before using.
