Description

This pie crust for the truly lazy bakers, like me![gallery ids="2407,2408,2409,2410,2411,2412,2413,2414"]


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1 Tbs pats
  • 2 Tbs cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup + 2-3 Tbs ice water

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or food processor, mix the flour, salt, and sugar.  Add in the butter until well incorporated.  Add in the ice water until dough forms into a ball.
  2. Sprinkle some all-purpose flour on a sheet of parchment paper.  Place the dough on the parchment paper and sprinkle the top with flour.  Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to the desired thickness.
  3. Place dough into the assembled spring form pan.  Use any excess dough to line the sides of the springform pan.  Just make sure you don’t get an abundance of crust where the bottom of the pan meets the side.  Gently press this extra dough with your fingertips to create an even crust.
  4. Using a fork, puncture the crust several times.
  5. Place dough in the freezer for at least thirty minutes.
