Best Savory Pie Crust Recipe
If this recipe looks familiar, there's a good reason for that—it's pretty much my Perfect Pie Crust with the sugar omitted. Still, I thought it helpful to have a pie crust recipe that was for savory pies only included in the archives and database to make it easier for all of you.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 12 tablespoons 1 1/2 sticks very cold butter, cut into 12 pieces (24 if doing by hand)
- 1 large egg cold from the fridge
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vinegar white or Apple cider NOT red wine or balsamic
- 3 tablespoons ice cold water
Instructions
- Add the flour and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse once or twice to combine.
- Add the butter. Pulse a few times, just until the butter mixes into the flour, forming a sandy mixture with some pea-sized pieces.
- Add the egg, vinegar, and water. Pulse 60 to 90 seconds until it comes together into a ball of dough. It’ll start out looking like wet sand, and comes together into a ball during the last few seconds of pulsing.
- Dump the dough onto a counter (no need to flour unless you’re using the dough immediately, but note that this dough also doesn’t require any chilling time). Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape into 1-inch thick, round disk. Wrap tightly in plastic film, and chill up to 3 days.
