This pie recipe was given to me by my friend Sally Darr former chef, the famous La Tulipe restaurant in New York City. The pie plate is one made by Frederique Poulain, designsbyfrederique.com.
For the pie crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, chilled, and cut into small pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons of ice water
Directions:
In the bowl of a food processor. Combine flour, salt, and sugar.
Add butter and process until the mixture resembles a coarse meal, about 10 seconds.
With the machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube.
Pulse until dough holds together without being wet. It should look crumbly.
Empty dough onto a flowered surface and shape it into a round-flat disc.
Wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
When ready to use, place dough on a lightly floured
surface, roll the dough out to a 12- inch circle and be about 1/8–inch thick and place it onto
a 9-inch pie plate.
Gently unflood and press down to line the pie dish with the dough. Freeze until ready to bake.
Place a piece of foil in the bottom of the crust and fill with beans.
Bake crust at 400- degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, remove from the oven take out the foil and beans. Return crust to oven until light brown.
