Savory Pie Crust

I have been using this pie crust recipe for pot pies. Seeing how there is a lot of turkey meat leftover, I think a few mini pot pies will be good to make this week.

Ingredients

1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
8 tbsp (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 to 4 tbsp cold water

Directions

1. In a food processor, pulse together flour, salt, black pepper and butter. Gradually add enough cold water so that the dough comes together.

2. Gather dough into a ball and flatten into a disc. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

3. To use, roll out dough to desired shape and bake according to pie or tart instructions.

Yield: one 9-inch or 10-inch crust

Kitchen note: This amount of crust is enough to make four 6 oz double crust pot pies which are baked at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes.
