Description

A rich, tangy sourdough pie crust that adds flavor and texture to any pie.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons ice water


Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the sourdough starter.
  4. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
  5. Divide the dough into two disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your pie pan.
  7. Use as directed in your pie recipe.

Notes

Keep everything cold to ensure a flaky texture and rest the dough in the fridge for easier handling.
