Homemade Pie Crust Ingredients & Prep
- Whole Wheat Flour – 1 1/2 cups
- Brown Sugar – 1 tsp
- Pink Himalayan Salt – 1/4 tsp
- Plant Based Butter – 1/2 cup
- Ice Water – 4 tbsp
- Gather all ingredients, a blender, pin roller, and 9 inch pie pan.
- Add flour, sugar, and salt to the blender and pulse 4-5 times to combine.
- Next add the plant based butter and process for 10-12 seconds.
- Add the ice cold water to the blender and process for 10 seconds.
- Remove the dough from the blender, place on a floured surface and roll into a ball.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a 12 inch circle.
- Carefully shift the flattened dough to a 9 inch pie pan. Do not worry about doing this perfectly. You will be able to mend the pie crust in the pan.
- Use a fork to press the ends of the pie crust around the pie pan edges to give the crust a simple design. Feel free to be creative.
- Use the pie crust immediately or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
- Make sure the plant based butter is refrigerated before use.
- A food processor or using your hands works well if you do not have a blender.
- Add ice to a cup or bowl of water if you need ice cold water.
- If you do not have a rolling pin then there are alternatives like what I used, a tall glass bottle. See other ideas here.
