Pie Crust 

I love making stuff from scratch. Messy hands are the best hands 🤗. Pie crust dough is super easy to make and customizable whether you want it sweet or not. Here we go:

Ingredients

2 cups flour // 3/4 cup softened (not liquified) butter (you can use vegan butter or margarine too) // 1/2 cup water // (optional: for a sweet crust, add 3 tbsp of sugar)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the flour and the softened butter. You should get a lumpy, sand-like texture // Gradually add the water while working the dough. You should get a soft and light dough. If too sticky, add some flour as needed but not too much // Grease a pie mold and spread the dough // take a fork and use it to make holes all over the dough. This would enable it to “breathe” // Put an aluminium sheet on the dough and dried chickpeas on top (any other dry legume would do fine as well) This is so that the dough will not rise while you bake it // bake the dough for about 40 min in a preheated oven at 360F/180C until it is cooked
