Pie Basics

Directions

1. 1
   {"0":"Weigh all ingredients. Whisk flour and salt together - chill 10 minutes or until cold.","2":"Cut flour and butter together using your fingertips to rub the flour into the butter until pea-sized for flaky crust or cornmeal for mealy crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.","4":"Pour in cold water, mixing briefly but incorporating the water completely with your hands. Form discs, wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.","6":"Try flaky and mealy dough for the same pie. Split the recipe - mealy on the bottom (better withstands excess moisture from fruit fillings and forms a tender base) and flaky for the top (crisp and flaky).","8":"Chill assembled pie in freezer for 10 minutes before baking. Bake apple pie at 375 for 50-55 minutes, rotating after 25."}
