applydapply has kindly allowed me to post this rye version of her Recipe #243072 This is a good crust for meat pies; every time I've made it, it comes out tender and flaky. It makes enough for one double-crust or two single crust pies.

Time 25m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rye flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
13 tablespoons butter, cold, cut up (1 stick plus 5 tablespoons(or use 1/2 cup shortening and 5 tablespoons butter)
4 -7 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Place flours and salt in food processor work bowl and pulse for 2 seconds to combine.
  • Add butter. Pulse 3-4 times, 2-3 seconds each time, or until mixture is crumbly.
  • Sprinkle in water, a tablespoon at a time, pulsing briefly after each addition, until mixture pulls away from the side of the work bowl and starts to form a ball. I find that 4 tablespoons water is usually enough, but you can add up to 3 more if your mixture is dry--just don't let it get too wet and sticky.
  • Remove from bowl and form into two balls.
  • Flatten each ball slightly.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 10 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball out into a circle.
  • Use in any savory recipe that calls for pie crusts.
