Steps:
- Make sure all your ingredients are thoroughly chilled before you begin. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl, and stir to combine.
- With a pastry blender or two knives, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture by pressing down quickly, using as few strokes as possible. You may leave a few pea-size pieces. Add 4 tablespoons water. Gather the dough and gently press into a ball. It should come together loosely; if not, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Divide dough in half; place each on plastic wrap. Flatten into disks. Wrap tightly; refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
- Remove disks from refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, press rolling pin gently all over dough to flatten it slightly. Working from the center to the edge in all directions, roll out dough into a round about 3 inches larger than the pie plate.
- Wrap the dough around the rolling pin; lift and center it over the pie plate. Gently unroll the dough over the plate, leaving an even amount of overhang around the perimeter. Baking time depends on individual recipes.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe pears that are firm but not too soft.
- If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a pre-made one from the store.
- To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, brush it with a beaten egg white before adding the filling.
- To make sure the pie bakes evenly, place it on a baking sheet.
- If the edges of the pie crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
Conclusion:
This double-crust pear pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and juicy filling, and simple ingredients, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this pear pie a try!
