Buttery Healthy Pie Crust

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups whole grain flour soft wheat works well but, I have used all kinds of whole grains just use what you have on hand
  • 12 Tbs COLD butter chopped or shredded
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6-7 Tbs iced cold water

Instructions

  • Mix the flour, butter, and salt until the butter is well combined
  • You can do this in the food processor or with a dough hand mixer
  • Once it is fully mixed, add your super-cold water
  • Add water slowing until your dough has the pie crust texture not too wet and not too dry
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or so.
  • For the bottom crust, I use the whole thing, if I am making a large pie, for the top crust I use only half of this recipe.
  • Roll out your bottom pie crust first and get it in the pie dish
  • Using a fork, poke holes in the bottom so the pie crust doesn't get air bubbles in the pan
  • Bake the bottom crust at 350ºF for 8-10 min
