Recipes FAQ

1. Can I use a food processor to make the dough?

Yes, a food processor is the quickest and easiest way to make this savoury pie crust recipe. If you don't have a food processor, you can make the dough by hand using a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter and shortening into the flour.

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days or freeze it for up to 1 month. If you freeze the dough, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before rolling it out.

3. Can I use this recipe for sweet pies?

No, this recipe is specifically for savoury pies. For sweet pies, you'll want to use a recipe that includes sugar and other sweet ingredients.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your butter and shortening are cold when you start making the dough. This will help ensure a flaky crust.
  • If the dough is too dry or crumbly, add a little more ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together in a ball.
  • To prevent the crust from shrinking during baking, be sure to prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork before baking.
  • For a golden brown crust, brush the edges with an egg wash before baking.
