My Go To Pie Crust

My Go To Pie Crust

Recipes Oct 29, 2024

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt (If you are using salted butter, just do a quick sprinkle.)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (Use full fat)

  1. Grab the butter from the fridge and cut it into cubes.
  2. Using a large bowl, mix the flour, butter, salt and sugar together. Some people use a fork, I usually just use my (clean) hands to mush the flour and butter together.
  3. It should sort of look like sand or some type of course meal at this point.
  4. Add the sour cream with a spoon, then go back to using your hands to mush it all together. Work it until a smooth dough forms.
  5. At this point you will need to divide it into 2 discs, place into a container, then put it in the fridge until it is needed. Or start the process of rolling it out to make a pie.
