BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S PERFECT PIE CRUST RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Barefoot Contessa's Perfect Pie Crust Recipe - Food.com image

From Barefoot Contessa Family Style cookbook, 2002. I have watched Ina Garten make this on her cooking show. She takes the mystery out of making pie crust and gives easy to follow instructions. First, the butter, shortening, and water must all be very cold. Second, let the dough sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling (bakers call this "relaxing" the dough). Finally, don't stretch the dough when you're placing it into the pan.

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Yield 2 10-inch pie crusts

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup very cold vegetable shortening
6 -8 tablespoons ice water (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture.
  • Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix.
  • Add the butter and shortening.
  • Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas.
  • With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball.
  • Dump out on a floured board and roll into a ball.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the dough in half.
  • Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board.
  • Fold the dough in half, place in a pie pan, and unfold to fit the pan.
  • Repeat with the top crust.
  • **Ina Garten prefers to use Crisco shortening, that has been stored in the refrigerator.
  • ***Cook time does not include 30 minute refrigeration time.

BUTTER FLAKY PIE CRUST RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
