Yield 2 (10-inch) crusts

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) very cold unsalted butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup very cold vegetable shortening
6 to 8 tablespoons (about 1/2 cup) ice water

Steps:

  • Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out on a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board. Fold the dough in half, place in a pie pan, and unfold to fit the pan. Repeat with the top crust.

Time 55m

Yield Makes two 9- to 11-inch crusts

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) very cold unsalted butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup very cold vegetable shortening, such as Crisco
1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out onto a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle at least 1 inch larger than the pie pan, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough so it doesn¿t stick to the board. (You should see bits of butter in the dough.) Fold the dough in half, ease it into the pie pan without stretching at all, and unfold to fit the pan. With a small sharp paring knife, cut the dough 1 inch larger around than the pan. Fold the edge under and crimp the edge with either your fingers or the tines of a fork.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S PERFECT PIE CRUST



Barefoot Contessa's Perfect Pie Crust image

From Barefoot Contessa Family Style cookbook, 2002. I have watched Ina Garten make this on her cooking show. She takes the mystery out of making pie crust and gives easy to follow instructions. First, the butter, shortening, and water must all be very cold. Second, let the dough sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling (bakers call this "relaxing" the dough). Finally, don't stretch the dough when you're placing it into the pan.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to make the pie crust. This will ensure that the butter and flour are evenly distributed, resulting in a flaky crust.
  • Chill the pie crust for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking.
  • Use fresh olallieberries for the filling. If you can't find fresh olallieberries, you can use frozen or canned berries.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice to the olallieberry filling. This will help to brighten the flavor of the berries.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.

Conclusion:

This olallieberry pie is the perfect summer dessert. It's made with fresh olallieberries, a flaky pie crust, and a sweet and tangy filling. This pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
