Test Kitchen's Favorite Deep-Dish Pate Brisee image

Admittedly, holiday recipes can get a little complicated sometimes-but pie dough shouldn't be one of them. This easy and versatile dough comes together in minutes thanks to a food processor. Use it to make classics like this Deep-Dish Pumpkin Custard Pie, or try something new this year like a Bird's-Nest Pudding Pie or Spiced Pear Pie with Buckwheat Crumble.

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch deep-dish pie

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 2/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
4 to 5 tablespoons ice-cold water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle 4 tablespoons water evenly over mixture. Pulse until mixture holds together when pinched (dough should not be wet or sticky). If dough is too dry, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, and pulse.
  • Form dough into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. (Dough can be frozen up to three months. Let thaw in the refrigerator a day before using.
