Crust Ingredients
Method
Crust Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- 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
Add Blue Cheese
Fold in the crumbled blue cheese until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- 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
Chill the Dough
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 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
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.
