Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of Salted Butter 1 1/2 sticks
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • and a 9 inch pie pan

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Melt the butter in saucepan.
  3. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and add both sugars and stir to combine. Then stir in flour.
  4. You may want to let the dough cook for a little bit, but usually I find that it is too hot to handle right away. Press the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. I like to prick the bottom of the crust so that it won't bubble up for crack.

  5. If using a no-bake pie filling, bake the pie crust for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. If you are making a pie filling that needs to bake, there is no need to pre-cook the pie crust.

Recipe Notes

Note: My family has always used a 9-inch pie pan. Many pie pans are 8 inches, which means that if you use all of the dough you will have a thicker pie crust. You could also set aside some of the dough and bake it like a cookie and eat it.
