Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- ¾ cup of Salted Butter 1 ½ sticks
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar
- 1 ¾ cups All Purpose Flour
- and a 9 inch pie pan
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt the butter in saucepan.
- Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and add both sugars and stir to combine. Then stir in flour.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
