Potato Milk Pie Crust
A tender pie crust using a small amount of cold potato milk to bring the dough together.
By Aunesty Janssen · The Arrogant Hippie Culinary Journal: Potato Milk Edition
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Cold Butter, cubed
- 3 to 4 tbsp Cold Potato Milk
Method
- Whisk the flour and salt together. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Drizzle in the cold potato milk, a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the dough just holds together when pressed.
- Shape into a disc, wrap, and chill at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out and fit into a 9-inch pie pan, then chill 15 minutes more before blind baking.
- Line with parchment and pie weights and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake 5 minutes more before filling.
Kitchen note
Potato milk's neutral flavor makes this crust equally suited to a sweet fruit pie or a savory quiche, worth keeping in mind when deciding what to fill it with.
