Easy, Really Good, Pie Crust!

I like to bake and I love to bake when it is easy and taste amazing. This pie crust totally applies. Super easy and really good. Try it, even if you hate to bake because you might have a change of heart.


No- Fear Pie Crust

Beat together for 2minutes……….8 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened, but still cool

2 oz. cream cheese, softened but still cool

Whisk together then add to the creamed butter mixture on a low speed

………………..1 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour

3 Tbsp sugar

¼ tsp salt

Beat together on a medium speed until dough begins to form large clumps. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured counter, gather into a ball and flatten into a desired shape. Wrap pie shell in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If making a single crust, prick holes in the crust, then bake at 325 degrees for 35 minutes. (Note: the baked shell can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, stored at room temperature for up to 1 day. The dough can be pressed into the pie plate,wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Thaw frozen dough in the refrigerator.)
