Btrown Sugar Pie Crust

Brown Sugar Pie Crust

Ingredients:

2 1/2   cups all purpose flour

1/2      tablespoon  brown sugar

Pinch salt

1/4      teaspoon baking powder

1         cup butter (very cold, cut into small cubes)

1         egg

1/4      cup + 2 tablespoons COLD water

1         teaspoon vinegar

Directions:

1.  Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl, then cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2.  Beat the egg, cold water and vinegar together

3.  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork. 

4.  Transfer to a flat surface and gently knead into a ball.  (Do not over knead the dough, that makes it tough.)

4.  Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about an hour or even over night.

NOTE

Remember in order to have a flaky pie crust, the water and butter need to be VERY cold, right out of the fridge cold.  don't leave out the vinegar it makes the crust tender.

APPARENTLY A GLASS PIE PAN MAKES THE FLAKIEST DOUGH.
