Butter Pie Crust (2 Crusts)

This is the pie crust that works for me. I have tried several other people's tried and true, but this is MY tried and true.

This is a combination recipe from Ruth Ann Spore my grandma's friend & great grandma Paddocks recipe 💕🌼💕

The pie crust recipe in a cookbook I had was too sticky and hard to work, so I adapted it using a crispy biscuit recipe that I had. I used 300 g of medium-strength or all-purpose flour this time. I tried various ratios of flours, but this recipe worked well with all cake flour or 100 g of bread flour + 200 g of cake flour too. I love how this pie stays crispy even the next day. There's no need to fold the crust, plus you only need one bowl.The cream cheese and butter blend better if you work them with your hands, but they do melt with your body temperature. If you use a fork, they blend better with the flour and your hands don't get messy. If you knead it or the cream cheese and butter melt while you're making the crust, the layers won't form properly, so it's best to chill the cream cheese and butter very well beforehand, and to make a crumbly crust quickly. Chilled ingredients will result in the nicest crust when baked. This recipe yields around 8 to 10 mini-pies about the size of your palm, or one double pie crust. If you only need the bottom crust for a pie, use half the listed amounts. Recipe by Koharumama

See how easy it is to make your own homemade pie crust!

Looking through this site for an easy pie crust because I was in the mood to try my own version of chicken pot pie I have come across many different versions of pie crust. After reading over many I have come up with my own.

perfect crust, I have shared this with many people and to buy a crust would be sacrilegious!

Pie crusts are tough to get right–the secret is 3-2-1. 3 parts flour, two parts COLD fat, and 1 part ice water, plus spices to season. To get the desired golden, flaky texture, the crust must be kept cold until it goes in the oven.

yum! :chef
