4 Ingredient Pie Crust Recipes

FLAKY PIE CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the ingredients for the recipe.
• Combine flour together with salt. Using a cheese grater, grate butter into the flour mixture, toss with a spatula once in a while to prevent butter from stiking together.
• Add water to the ingredients, work the dough with your hands just enough for it all to stick together. The dough will turn out hard.
• Seal tight with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.

4-INGREDIENT COOKIES AND CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Cut 10 of the cookie sandwiches in half and arrange in the bottom of the pie crust.
• Whip the cream and sugar together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it holds stiff peaks. Pour the cream into the pie crust and smooth out into an even layer with decorate swirls on top (the back of a spoon works nicely). Crumble the remaining 5 cookies and sprinkle over the top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, to soften the cookies.

4-INGREDIENT S'MORES PIE

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips and cream in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2 1/2 minutes. Stir until completely smooth (the chocolate may appear separated at first, but just keep stirring). Pour into the prepared pie crust, loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Use kitchen shears to cut each marshmallow in half, on a bias, from one corner to the opposite corner. Arrange the marshmallow halves, cut-side down, on top of the chilled pie. Broil until golden, watching closely and rotating the pan as needed, about 1 minute. Let the pie cool completely, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and return to the fridge until the ganache sets again, 1 to 2 hours.

PIE CRUST IV

Steps:

• Mix shortening, flour, and salt together with a fork or a pastry blender until very crumbly. Add as much water as needed to hold together, and mix lightly with a fork.
• Roll gently on a floured pastry cloth to about an inch larger than pie plate. Fold carefully in half, lift to pie plate, and unfold. Press into pan. For a single-crust pie, trim with a small knife to about 1/2 inch beyond rim. Fold up, and pinch so edge of pie is raised from rim.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the pie crust on a cutting board, and cut out circle shapes using the top of a coffee cup. Collect scrap pieces, and roll out again to stamp out more shapes, making 12-14 circles total.
• Fill half the circles with a tablespoon of the cream cheese, followed by a heaping teaspoon of jam.
• Using your finger, lightly wet the edges of the cut rounds with water.
• Cover the tops with the remaining circles, pressing the two dough halves together. Crimp edges with a fork to seal.
• In a bowl, beat the egg with water. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash.
• Use a small, sharp knife to cut a ventilation hole, or slit into the top of the pies.
• Arrange the pies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before serving.
• Enjoy!

EASY 4-INGREDIENT CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• NOTE: IF YOU USE DICED CHICKEN OTHER THAN CANNED CHICKEN IN BROTH -- YOU WILL NEED TO ADD AT LEAST 1 CUP CHICKEN BROTH OR EXTRA GRAVY!
• PREHEAT oven to 425°F; SELECT 5-6 ovenproof bowls or ramekins to hold 1 1/2 cups filling, leaving at least 1 inch space free below bowl rims.
• PLACE 3 cups Bird's Eye Recipe Ready Stew Blend frozen vegetables into a 2 1/2 quart pot (Note: If you like green beans and/or corn in your pot pie you can replace a portion of the stew blend with these); COVER with 2 inches hot water; HEAT to boiling; BOIL 2-3 minutes.

• ARRANGE bowls on baking sheets; SPRAY bowl interiors with non-stick cooking spray; POUR 1 1/2 cups filling into bowls, distributing evenly.
• PLACE then press dough circles over filling to cover, levelly to the edges of baking dish (see photo); SPRAY dough crust tops well with non-stick cooking spray for even browning; CUT slits around the center of each prepared pastry to vent.
