FOOD PROCESSOR PIE DOUGH
Making pie dough in a food processor takes just seconds to prepare. Crusts may be
prepared, frozen and defrosted in refrigerator overnight.
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 sticks cold butter (or half butter and half shortening),
chilled and cut into small pieces
¼ cup ice water
Place flour, salt and sugar into bowl of food processor. Add butter and pulse
until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add water tablespoon by tablespoon and
pulse until mixture just starts to come together but is still crumbly. Turn out
onto plastic wrap and press dough together to form a flat round. Cover and
place in refrigerator. Chill for approximately 1 hour (if chilled longer, hold at
room temperature for 15 minutes before rolling.) Lay out 2 overlapping sheets
of plastic wrap and flour lightly. Top with 2 more sheets of plastic wrap and
roll out dough. Cut out circles, 4 measuring 4 ¼ inches and 4 measuring 3 ¾
inches in diameter or by using the Bottom Dough Cutter and the Top Dough
Cutter tools. Fit cut dough in Sunbeam Pie Maker bottom crust plates, spoon
in filling and cover with top crusts, cutting away any excess. Close lid and
bake for 10 minutes.
