Easy Flaky Pie Crust

Basic pie crust! I love working with dough!

This is a great recipe to make multiple pies from. You can get creative and either use a while top crust or cut strips to make a lattice top crust. You can also roll out and cut shapes with cookie cutters or shape cutters to bake on top crust for decorations. A common top crust decoration is cherry cutouts or leaf cutouts. This adds a beautiful touch to your pies.

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.

As long as you add chilled water and take care not to knead the dough, there's nothing to it. I recommend salted butter. Strong flour gives scones or pies a flaky finish. Recipe by Shioaji

I like to try my best to use butter sparingly. But you always need more than 100 g to make pie crust. I aimed for a recipe that wouldn't use too much butter and still be a delicious crust, so I made this. With this recipe, even stingy me can deal with using some butter!When you're gathering the dough together, be careful not to knead it! If it doesn't completely lump together, it will all stick together nicely when you roll it out. Recipe by Kobashi-

I wanted a crispy crust for my apple pie.The batter will get runny and hard to handle if the butter melts, so make sure your room is cool enough or make it during one of the colder months.Try not to touch the crust too much before baking, or it'll melt with the warmth of your heads.Freeze the pie crust before baking to save it for later.

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
