Everybody's Wrong About Pie Dough

Well, that’s Chris!
Here's the recipe:
1 1/4 cups All-Purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons cold butter
For a double crust pie, double the recipe. You can substitute vegetable shortening for up to half of the butter. It’ll have less flavor but will make the dough a bit easier to work with.
If you’re wondering, that Chinese-style cleaver is from Lamson, and he also uses it to mince parsley and chop chicken bits.

Chris, I made this pie dough. I made turnovers with the your dough. The crust was flakey and buttery. Real easy to roll out. Fast and easy to make. It's the greatest! I make pie dough by food processor and by hand, but the method you demonstrated here is the best. I did freeze the butter, by the way. I imagine it's not necessary to freeze the butter. I've already frozen the dough in a pie pan to make a future pie. Thanks a lot, Chris.

I still miss Christopher. Good lesson on a different way to make pie dough. Love the idea.i will try it. Thanks Chris.

[helenruth]

Great tips I'm just getting in to baking and I need all the tips I can get 😂 thank you and happy new year ✌️

[claudiahumphrey]

Thank you. I thought i was the only one that couldnt make a manageable pie dough. I usually just pressed it into the form sortof, because there was no way to roll it out.

I go for a bulk texture sort of like a bowl of sprinkles. Vodka as a liquid, with only a tiny bit of water works the best for me, thus far. 👍😁

Wow, every don’t you mentioned is something I follow 😂 and I sometimes struggle with cracks. I do think marbled bits of butter in the rollout is beautiful, though. If anything, my dough is too tender.

Thankyou for this pie dough is my nemesis

We love you, Chris! You definitely got the last word.

Can you do the water part in the processor?

[leavingitblank]

Cutting the butter in finely produces a mealy crust more than a flaky one, which is good for wet pies like pumpkin.

Get two knives and cut the flour and lard ----yes, lard ---- that is in small pats of butter size---- cross-cross the knives when cutting the lard into very small -- pea sized --- pieces. Yes, it is old school...yes, it's lard ----you either want a fabulous pie dough or you don't . It's just that simple.

Why not finish in the processor; skip the bowl?

Please improve the sound. Content is interesting, hard to listen

He turns off the comments because he can't take real constructive criticism. That should tell you everything people.

Wow! That's kinda arrogant !
