Basic Pie Dough

I love, love, love this short dough recipe! It is my go to recipe for any product requiring a pie crust, tart or cobbler. It is also very versatile. I can adjust it for sweet of course and savory products. Its a fool-proof perfect crust every time!

Ive used this fantastic recipe many times, so wanted to write a quick note singing its praises. I never used to make pies because my crusts gave me trouble. They always turned out horrible - hard to roll out, from fussy recipes where you have to get the liquid exactly right, then chill the dough making it TOO cold to roll out, or it would be full of cracks, or greasy, or tough and tasteless. Yuck! Not so with this lovely, simple, pliable dough. I make it in my Kitchenaid stand mixer. It takes about two minutes and turns out beautifully every time. Easy to make, easy to roll, no chilling necessary, and its DELICIOUS! Thank you, Williams-Sonoma for another winning recipe!

I have several pie crust recipes but this one is my latest reliable favorite. I make this recipe over and over again, assembly line style, pop them in the freezer, and can have a pie ready in no time. It is delicious for both savory (leaving out the sugar) and sweet pies. I have also made this in different pie plates and it always looks beautiful. Definitely a winner.

This is my go-to pie crust recipe at this point. I love it! I use a food processor and its incredibly easy and reliable.

Ive made other crusts, but this is my all time favorite. My friends who have had my pies rave about the crust. This recipe is easy, super fast, and the results are a perfectly balanced, slightly sweet and flaky crust. Just dont over mix and youll be golden!

I am sure this is a great recipe but why no bake temp and time?! My pie calls for a baked crust before putting in the pie filling and Im very frustrated!

This is my go-to pie crust for both sweet and savoury pies. I can always count on a consistent and impressive outcome. The dough is super easy to make and work with.
