This is a quick and easy pie crust.
The ingredients mix together well. The herbs give it a delicious flavor.
Using super cold butter is key to a flaky crust. You can see big chunks of butter when you are rolling the dough out.
This recipe makes enough for two crusts. I used one full crust in the bottom of the pie plate and then sliced the other half into strips to do a lattice top crust.
I made this dough for my Turkey Pie recipe. It was very tasty!
HERBED PIE CRUST
6 Ounces Cream Cheese
1 Cup Cold Butter, Cut into Pieces
2 ½ Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Chopped Basil
2 Teaspoons Minced Sage
2 Teaspoons Chopped Dill
Mix the flour and herbs together in a bowl. Cut in the cream cheese and butter. Mix with a pastry blender or hand mixer until coarse and crumbly. Continue mixing with your hands until the dough forms a ball. Add cold water if necessary. Divide dough in half and roll out on a floured pastry mat. Repeat with remaining dough.
