- Cut the cold butter into chunks and toss it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. With your hands, mix the butter into the flour. You will blend the butter into the flour with your fingers. You want to blend it all together so the largest chunks of butter are nickel sized.113 Grams Cold Butter
- Add in the ice cold water, with your hands mix it all together. You want the dough to cold together without being too crumbly. If it is too crumbly add a little bit more water at a time.~60 Grams Ice Water
- Once the dough is all combined and you are making it right away, I would gather it up into a disc shape. Place it on a well floured surface. Roll the dough out larger than you need it. Cut off the extras.
- Carefully lifting, place it into the pie dish. Make sure the dough sits well into the pie crush so it holds its shape. Finish the pie by either filling it or blind baking it.
If you are blind baking the dough
- Preheat the oven to 400F with a baking sheet on the middle rack.
- Once the dough is in the pie dish, brush the edges with an egg wash (1 whole egg and a splash of cream or milk). Place parchment paper inside the pie and fill it with pie weights.
- Once the oven is preheated, place to pie into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the oven and remove the pie weights and parchment paper. Place it back in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Once it is nice and golden brown, remove it from the oven and let it cool before filling it with your filling.
If you are filling it before baking (pot pie, apple pie, etc)
- Preheat the oven to 400F
- Complete the bottom pie dough inside the pie plate. Fill the pie dough with whatever filling you would like.
- Top of the pie with whatever pattern you would like - full covered, lattice, shapes, etc.
- Brush it with an egg wash (1 whole egg, and a splash of milk or cream).
- Place it in the oven as per baking instructions on the pies recipe as they will all take a little bit different times to bake.
