3:2:1 Pie Crust | The EASIEST pie dough, NO RECIPE NEEDED!
This pie dough is so easy you’ll never need another recipe!
3 parts Flour
2 parts butter
1 part water
In today’s video I used:
600 AP
400 butter
200 ice cold water
2 large pinches of salt
First start with the butter. Make sure your butter is cold from the fridge. Grate on a box grater or cut it into cubes. If it’s summer and you’re worried about butter softening too much as you grate it pop it into the fridge for an hour after you grate it.
Mix butter and flour together. This goes incredibly fast because it’s already grated. You want the flour to be like large beans. Stream in your cold water. Must be cold!! Mix until you have a shaggy dough. Do not wait for it to be wet or sticky!!! It will be tough and you will be SAD. Refrigerate for at least one hour to let it relax but overnight is best. Once your dough is cold use however you wish. I use this dough for all manner of pies, sweet and savory and quiches. If you want it to be sweeter add a tablespoon or two of sugar. Add pepper for a quiche crust. Experiment! Have fun!

100 Yr Old Pie Crust Recipe & Demo
This is the best pie crust I've ever eaten so I asked Nikki's permission to share it with all of you. It's a long video but will help those who have trouble making pie dough. It has really helped me. The recipe is below, enjoy!!
****I tried making this with a food processor and as careful as I was, it severely affected the results. It was not flaky and very ordinary. Try at your own risk!*****
Nikki's Grandmothers Pie Crust Recipe
3 cups of AP flour,
1/4 tsp. baking powder (you're going to add this to the AP flour, just like Nikki's Grandmother)
1&1/2 tsps. of salt
1 cup of lard or shortening (Nikkis Grandmother used lard)
1 tblsp. vinegar - white or apple cider, it doesn't matter
Some ice water. You may use close to a cup of ice water. It could be a little more or a little less.
The flour and lard being used is kept in the freezer at least 2 hours till very cold and lard is very cold
Start with 4 tblsp. very cold water (3 tblsp. ice water + 1 tblsp vinegar mixed with the ice water ). You may need to add up to (or a little more or less) 2/3 cups of ice water. This WILL include the 1 tblsp of vinegar added to the 1st 4 tblsp to equal 4 tblsp. AFTER the vinegar is added. Mix this into the flour with a fork to combine. Mix gingerly, not with a heavy hand! The amount of water will probably never be the same because of the amount of humidity in the air and in the flour itself. More than likely you will use 2/3 to 3/4 cups of ice water. Do NOT knead the dough, squeeze it instead. If it holds a ball easily, you've added enough water. WATCH THE VIDEO AS I TRY TO SQUEEZE THE DOUGH INTO A BALL, ADD MORE WATER AND SQUEEZE AGAIN. NO KNEADING, JUST SQUEEZING!!
FYI.....4 tblsps. equals 1/4 cup of liquid if measured
When mixing the lard or shortening with the flour, leave the lumps on the larger size. More like a dry pinto bean than a pea. Not like cornmeal at all, unless you don't want flaky crust. You need kinda lumpy to get flaky. This is according to Nikki & what I did to get my flakey crust.
Mix it quick, if your hands are hot, use 2 knives or a pastry cutter. Do it with a happy heart and a light hand. This isn't bread dough to take out your anger on. The less you handle it, the lighter and flakier it will turn out. The dough is never kneaded but only squeezed to determine the amount of water needed.
It's easier to turn the crust on your rolling surface than to roll sideways. A pastry cloth is a pretty good idea. You can keep it in a zip bag in the freezer, so it doesn't get bugs, all floured and ready for next time.
Roll your crust onto your pin to put it in the pie pan. It's easier to get it centered just right. If you roll your crusts a little thinner at the edge, you can turn them under to flute and they don't become giant chunks of crust nobody eats.
If judging thickness is a problem, you can buy bands for your rolling pin, or use something like chopsticks
I have never frozen my grandmother's pie crust. They didn't have freezers in the 1880's or 1890's when she started making this recipe

HOW TO MIX PIE DOUGH
We use a pastry cutter to cut the cold butter and shortening into the flour. This is one of our newest kitchen tools that we got for making scones. Don’t have one? You can get one here. It is easy to use for making crumbs out of your flour/butter mixture for pie crusts, streusels, scones and more.
HOW TO ROLL PIE DOUGH
Another kitchen tool we use when making pie crust is our pastry mat. We happened to find an awesome deal on a new pastry mat at a garage sale this summer, but it is very similar to the one found here. I don’t know what we did without this mat. It’s a non-slip mat that makes rolling out your dough so easy. And you don’t have to clean all that extra flour off your counter after you are finished. Just pick up the mat and rinse it in the sink. Normally I am against using “extra” kitchen tools that are supposed to help the cooking process, but this one really does make life easier.
Ingredients
3 cups pastry flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup ice cold water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Instructions
Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the shortening and the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix the water and vinegar together in a cup. Add the mixture to the crumbs. Mix together just until the dough is combined and handles well.
Sprinkle flour on the counter before rolling out the dough. Split the dough into two chunks.
Roll out one piece on a floured surface. Roll the dough about 1/2 an inch larger than your pie pan.
Lay the crust in the pie pan and press down lightly on the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
If you are making just a bottom crust, turn the edge under and use thumbs flute the edges of the dough.
If you are making a double crusted pie, fill the pie, roll out the other half of the dough and lay it over top the filling. Fold the top dough under the bottom dough and use your fingers to seal it together.
Bake according to your pie recipe.
This recipes makes enough for a double crusted pie.
