I will shamefully admit that I have never had good luck at making a flakey pie crust before I found this recipe. It's now my go to - I LOVE that it uses up an entire cup of sourdough starter AND it can be frozen for use on a later date. It's super simple to make - enjoy the pictures of the tiny hands (and toes) that helped me make this pie crust that I know you will love, too!
Sourdough Pie Crust
1 ½ c flour
1 t salt
1 T sugar
1 C butter, cold & cubed
1 C sourdough starter
Make the Dough
Cube 1 C butter and leave it in the fridge until ready to use.
Whisk together flour, salt, and sugar.
Cut in the butter until it's worked into the flour in pea-sized pieces ( or pulse with a food processor)
Add the starter, stir/pulse to combine until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead just a few times until the flour is all incorporated.
Divide the dough into two pieces and shape them into disks.
Wrap in saran wrap and store in the fridge for at least an hour before rolling out or up to 3 days.
Freeze for later use in your favorite pie recipe.
