Looking for a quick and easy pie dough recipe? We’ve got you covered. This is our tried-and-true recipe for perfect pie dough. It’s not the fanciest, but it’s flaky, buttery and works every time. We even captured Adrienne making it on video to prove it!
Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 4 ounces unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
– 1/8 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cups ice cold water
Instructions
Combine flour, butter and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Slowly add the cold water in thirds, stirring with a wooden spoon after each addition. Continue stirring until a soft dough has formed. If dough seems too dry, add additional cold water by the tablespoon. If dough seems to wet, add a bit more flour. Once the dough has formed, gather with your hands and mold into a circular disk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 25 min or overnight.
Remove dough from refrigerator and let rest for 5 minutes. Roll out on a floured surface and transfer to pie pan. Trim any crust overhang, then flute the edges.
Need more dough? This recipe can be doubled, to accommodate a large deep dish pan, double crust or lattice top!
