  • 4 Tb cornstarch
  • 2 Tb lemon juice

Barefoot Contessa’s Pie Crust Recipe (This makes two 10-inch pie crusts.)

  • 12 Tbs (1 1/2 sticks) very cold unsalted butter
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbs sugar
  • 1/3 cup very cold shortening
  • 68 Tbs (about 1/2 cup) ice water

Instructions

  1. Combine water, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and butter and cook until thickened. Cool. Add peaches and put in pre-cooked pie crust.

Pie Crust:

  1. Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture.
  2. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix.
  3. Add the butter and shortening.
  4. Pulse 8-12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball.
  5. Dump out onto a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling for the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn’t stick to the board. Fold the dough in half, place in a pie pan, and unfold to fit the pan. Repeat with the top crust.
