Flakiest Pie Crust ever image

I adapted this from http://www.azcentral.com/style/hfe/food/recipes/articles/20120410basic-quiche-crust.html I left out the salt accidentally, but didn't miss it at all, so won't be adding it in the future. Also it called for 2 tbsp of ice water, but I used 6. I always make my own pie crusts, and this is by far the best recipe...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c cold butter (1 stick)
6 Tbsp ice water

Steps:

  • 1. Place flour and butter in food processor. Pulse until it resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tbsp of ice water at time (while pulsing) add just enough until dough starts to cling together. I used 6 tbsp.
  • 2. Remove blade and dough and form into a ball, roll out on a lightly floured surface. Place in a 9" pie plate, cut edges. Place in fridge for at least 30 min. OR wrap ball into plastic wrap for 30 min. Remove and roll out and place in pie plate.
  • 3. If pre-baking, place parchment paper or foil on top of crust, place dried beans on top. Bake at 375° for about 25 min.
