Zubereitung von Basic Pie Pastry Crust Tips Tricks
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle slightly larger than your pie plate.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- For a blind bake (if needed for your recipe), line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes.
- Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
