How to Make Classic Pie Crust Idiot Proof Step By Step Photo Tutorial
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter and shortening using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the ice water and lemon juice until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into two discs, one slightly larger than the other.
- Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger disc of dough into a circle large enough to fit your 12-inch pie plate.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the pie plate.
- Trim and crimp the edges.
- Roll out the second disc of dough and either place it over the pie filling or cut it into strips for a lattice top.
- Bake according to your pie recipe instructions. (Note: For a blind bake, pre-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes before adding filling.)
