Food Processor Pie Dough Recipe

Making pie dough from scratch can be daunting, but using a food processor makes the process much easier and quicker. This recipe yields enough dough for one double-crust or two single-crust pies.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Instructions:

1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Pulse a few times to mix.
2. Add the chilled butter pieces to the bowl and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and there are no large pieces of butter remaining.
3. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the ice water through the feed tube. Use only enough water so that the dough begins to come together and form a ball when you pulse it.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and divide into two equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

Verdict:

This food processor pie dough recipe is quick and easy to make, produces a flaky and tender crust, and can be used for both sweet and savory pies. It’s a game-changer for anyone who loves homemade pie but hates fussing with dough!

Serving Suggestions:

Use this pie dough recipe to make all your favorite pies, from classic apple and pumpkin to savory quiches and pot pies. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a true comfort-food experience.
