Mix Dough for Pecan Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Video Transcript

This is Mary Murphy and you are watching Expert Village. Now we'll mix together all our ingredients for the crust. OK, you put the cup and a quarter of flour in your bowl. You put a half a teaspoon of salt into the flour. You put in eight, oh six tablespoons of butter. And you can measure this out all, there's one, two, three, four, five, six. Just cut right through the paper. The trick with a crust, it's very important to keep the butter cold. That is what's going to keep your crust tender. And then lard makes it a good flavor, and you put in two tablespoons of the lard. Then you take, those are your ingredients. You mix those together with a pastry cutter and you. This is what the pie crust should look like when you have incorporated the butter into the flour. It should look like course corn meal and all incorporated. Now we will add the ice water to it. Nice and cold. Three to four tablespoons of water. It's pretty much exactly a quarter of a cup. OK, so as you still continuously you incorporate all the ice cold water into your pie crust. When you have incorporated the water you just dump it right out onto your counter. You are going to knead it about five to six times and you want to do it very quickly. You just pull, push, two, three, four, five and that seems quite fine. And then you put it into a flat disc like this and you wrap it up in plastic wrap or wax paper and you should put it into the refrigerator for one hour to two hours to chill.
