Crust Ingredients

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Incorporate the Butter

    Add the softened butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Blue Cheese

    Fold in the crumbled blue cheese until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

  4. 4

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Chill the Dough

    Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Roll and Shape the Crust

    Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your pie or tart pan. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and trim any excess.

  7. 7

    Pre-bake (if necessary)

    If your recipe calls for a pre-baked crust, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
