PERFECT PIE CRUST (WITH EGG & VINEGAR) RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- In a large bowl, with a pastry cutter, gradually work the Crisco into the flour for about 3 or 4 minutes until it resembles a coarse meal. In a small bowl, beat an egg with a fork and then pour it into the flour/shortening mixture. Add 5 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir together gently until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Separate the dough into thirds. Form 3 evenly sized balls of dough and place each dough into a large Zip Loc bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (about 1/- inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. (If you will be using it immediately it's still a good idea to put in the freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes to chill.) When you are ready to use the dough to make a crust, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 15 minutes. On a floured surface roll the dough, starting at the center and working your way out. (Sprinkle some flour over top of the dough if it's a bit too moist.) If the dough is sticking to the counter top use a metal spatula and carefully scrape it up and flip it over and continue rolling until it's about 1/2 inch larger in diameter than your pie pan. With a spatula, lift the dough carefully from the surface of the counter into the pie pan. Gently press the dough against the corner of the pan. Go around the pie pan pinching and tucking the dough to make a clean edge.

FEATHERLIGHT VINEGAR PASTRY (GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST) RECIPE - (4.7/5)
Provided by jtomlin622
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, blend the flour mix, xanthan gum, salt and sugar. Cut into the shortening until coarse crumbs form. In a small bowl, beat the vinegar and egg together with a fork. Add the ice water. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a fork and keep adding liquid until the dough forms a ball. Work a little with your hands to obtain a smooth texture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more before rolling out. Divide the dough in half and roll out on sweet rice flour - covered waxed paper or plastic wrap. Use as much of the sweet rice flour as needed to work easily. Place in a pie tin. If using plastic wrap for easier handling, move it to the pie tin and invert the dough into the pan. Bake as directed for the filling used. For a baked crust, prick the pastry with a fork on sides and bottom. Bake the crust in a preheated 450-degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned. Cool before filling.
Tips:
- Use cold ingredients: This will help to keep the crust flaky and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Work quickly: The longer you work the dough, the more gluten will develop, which will make the crust tough.
- Don't overmix the dough: Mix the dough just until it comes together. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking and cracking.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface: This will help to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: This will help to create clean edges.
- Bake the pie crust at a high temperature: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
Conclusion:
Vinegar pie crust is a delicious and versatile crust that can be used for a variety of pies. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you can make a perfect vinegar pie crust every time.
