Tips:

  • Choose the right flour. All-purpose flour is a good option for pie crust, but you can also use pastry flour or bread flour. Pastry flour will give you a more tender crust, while bread flour will give you a more chewy crust.
  • Keep the ingredients cold. This will help to prevent the gluten in the flour from developing, which will make the crust tough. You can chill the flour, butter, and water before using them, or you can work the dough in a cold environment.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Work the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a light touch when rolling out the dough. Don't press down too hard, or you will make the crust tough.
  • Trim the edges of the dough. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the pie crust at a high temperature. This will help to create a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Making a pie crust without butter is easy and rewarding. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of care, you can create a delicious and flaky crust that will be the perfect complement to your favorite pie filling. So next time you're in the mood for a homemade pie, don't be afraid to give this butter-free pie crust a try. You won't be disappointed!
