By: Amber Grangroth

This super simple pie crust is just what it says, SUPER simple! Pie crust can be somewhat intimidating to make, especially if you’ve never done it before! With this super simple pie crust recipe, you will make delicious flaky pie crust for sweet or savory pies!

We like to use this crust for fruit pies, cream pies, pasty, chicken pot pie, quiches, and anything in between! Even little hand-held pies are so fun to make with the kids!

This recipe uses all butter and only a few additional ingredients to make perfect pie crust every time!

There are recipes for nine or ten inch crust so you can make a crust to fit whichever size pan you’re using. And the process is all the same!

Super Simple Pie Crust Recipe

Ingredients:

2 crust pie – 10 inch:

1 cup cold butter
2 2/3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
8 Tbsp cold water

1 crust pie – 9 inch:

1 cup flour
1/3 cup butter
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp cold water

Instructions:

Add the flour and salt to a bowl or food processor and mix.

Cut in butter with either a pastry cutter or two knives by criss crossing them or use the dough blade on the food processor to pulse the butter in until there are small pea size or smaller pieces of butter in the flour mixture.

Gently add the cold water either by mixing with a fork or pulsing in, just until dough comes together. I like to make ice water and measure the cold water from there.

Form a round of dough with floured hands and place on a floured surface.

Gently roll out to form and use as needed!

Enjoy!
