Pie Crust RecipesThis recipe is one that can be used for sweet or savory. It is very light. Hope you like it.

Ingredients:

Directions

Grate the half frozen butter into the flour. Using a knife, blend in but do not use hands to do this as when the pastry is cooked, it will not have the same light texture. Use enough cold water to form a soft dough. Wrap and put into the fridge and let rest for at least 1/2 hour, then use as required.

Hope you find this as good as I do

In making pie crust, the less it is handled the flakier it will be; kneading or handling it makes it tough. Just work it up with your hands until all the flour is worked into dough after adding liquid.

I could really use a recipe for pie crusts that really shines at holiday time. The recipe I have is inadequate and the crust comes out as if for a bland diet. I would appreciate lots of contributed recipes in answer to this. Thanks!

Here is a link to pie crust recipes at allrecipes.com. You can sort them by rating, if you'd like, and you can read the reviews. I find the reviews to be very helpful in deciding if I want to try a recipe, and also to see how others have modified the recipes.

I have tried all those 'easy' pie crust recipes. For the Marie Calendar recipe I followed it EXACTLY. The dough was refrigerated, warmed to room temp, pinch test was OK. The dough was too sticky, I added a little flour, then the dough falls apart. Any ideas?

Pastry should always be kept as cool as possible, so use iced water (and cold hands!) and try and roll it out as quickly as possible. Make into whatever shape you need then put back in fridge to relax before cooking.

Cool and quick is the motto for pastry but there are very experienced cooks who can't manage to make good pastry, it really is an art - so you are not alone.

Best of luck :-)

Here is the one I use. I got it from my sister in law. I can sell these pies anytime, because the crusts are so flaky and tender. The thing to remember is that the dough might need a touch more water, but it should never be sticky. Also, do you put flour on the rolling surface before you roll out pies?
Never Fail Piecrust
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 3/4 cups shortening or lard
1/2 cup water
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vinegar

Put dry ingredients in a big bowl. Add wet ingredients. Mash together. Knead for a minute or so to mix it up good. Divide it into six or seven equal portions and roll them into balls. Roll out the ones you need right away and freeze the rest. Let me know how you do with this.

Here is a pie crust recipe I saw demonstrated on the Oprah Show. It is sooo easy and really good! I have had a LOT of compliments on my pies. This recipe is for a 2 crust pie.

Advertisement


Crust:
2-2/3 cups flour
1 scant tsp. salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil
6 TBS. cold milk
To make crust, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour and salt. Measure oil and milk together in a separate small bowl...do NOT stir. Add to flour. Mix well with a large metal spoon. Roll out crust between 2 pieces of waxed paper. Do NOT refrigerate before rolling crust out. CAREFULLY lift away waxed paper as this crust might tear easily!
Good luck!!

Does anyone have a really nice recipe for Christmas Mince Pies? What I'm actually looking for is a nice pastry recipe for the mince pies. Not sure if they should be made with short pastry or flaky or puff pastry.

I use my regular pie crust recipe and my husband thinks he's died and gone to heaven!! Nobody would make them for him before I came along (except his now deceased mother) so he thinks I'm doing him the biggest favor and it's sooo easy!

The VERY best pie crust recipe I have ever used is:
This is for a two crust pie:
2 2/3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil
6 Tbs. cold milk
Stir the flour and salt together. Measure the oil and milk together but DO NOT mix!! Pour into the flour mixture. Stir all together with a large spoon. Divide into two parts and shape into two balls. Roll out each ball between waxed paper sheets. Before removong the waxed paper, place into pie pan, then SLOWLY peel off waxed paper. This can be halved for a one crust pie. Very good and flaky!

There are a few good vegan pie crusts in the link I post below and I may post more than one. This one is interesting because it does work very well as a pie crust but it has NO fat of any kind. It is still good, but not as soft. But if no fat or calorie reduction is important to you, it is good to have this option available.
