Pie dough.
I’m a big fan of pies, but I wasn’t so happy with my pie dough.
I was always stressed about not being able to make a homogenous ball of dough with the pastry blender, or overdoing the butter, or having dough not flexible enough to avoid it breaking into pieces and all the warnings in all the recipes…All my worries vanished after The Italian Dish posted this recipe, with a video tutorial included, to make the most worry free pie dough.
This recipe makes dough for a single crust pie and it marks the beginning of the pie season in my family. I already double it to make two Thanksgiving classics: pumpkin pie and pecan pie.
I hope you like it!
