A couple of years ago, I used a great pie crust recipe. It was super easy--just pop ingredients into the food processor, pulse, and it came together really nice.
And now I can't find it! I have another recipe, I thought it was the same one but it doesn't say to use a food processor and I tried it that way but it's really crumbly. Bakes fine but very hard to roll out.
Anyone have one they recommend? I don't have a pastry blender so I need something I can do another way, like the food processor.
1 stick margarine (1/2 cup) 1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup) (i like to start with butter & marg frozen - keeps the crust flakey) 2 1/4 cups flour 3/4 teaspoon salt
combine dry ingredients in food processor until well blended. dice frozen butter & margarine & add to food processor pulsing until butter is the size of small peas. add up to 5 tablespoons ice water, pulsing until dough is the right consistency.
remove from food processor & divide into 2 balls. roll between waxed or parchment paper until desired size. handle as little as possible before baking.
