How do I make a pie crust crust from scratch?
assistant
1. To make a pie crust from scratch, start by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
2. Then cut in 1/2 cup of cold, cubed butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
3. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar and 5-7 tablespoons of ice-cold water to the mix and stir until the dough just comes together.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead the dough a few times.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
6. Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick, then fit it into a pie plate.
7. For a single-crust pie, trim the edges and flute or flute and crimp.
8. For a double-crust pie, fill the pie with the desired filling, then cut slits in the top crust to vent steam.
9. Finally, bake the pie at 375°F for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
