PIE MAKING 101

Pie crust from scratch

Have all your ingredients ready, a food processor, and a large and small mixing

bowl

Put your flour, sugar and salt into the food processor. Pulse a few times to

mix

Add chilled butter and shortening. Pulse in 10 second intervals (about 3-4

times)

Mixture should be coarse crumbs with a few pea sized pieces. Pour into large

mixing bowl. (if there are a few larger pieces just use your finger to pinch them apart)

In your small bowl whisk together egg yolks, ice water, and vinegar

Drizzle HALF of the egg mixture over the flour mixture.

Toss flour mixture with a fork until all the liquid is incorporated. Drizzle other half of egg mixture and continue to toss

with a fork.

With your hands press dough together in bowl, then dump onto counter. (it's okay if there are still some crumbly

pieces)

Cut into 4 pieces. Stack pieces on top of one another, placing

unincorporated dry pieces of dough between layers, and press down to

combine.

Repeat 3 times

Cut into 2 pieces and form balls

Flatten into 1” discs and wrap in plastic wrap
