I have a confession to make.
I buy cheater crust. I always have. I don't know why making pie crust seemed so intimidating to me. Perhaps because if the crust was wrong, you might as well throw the whole pie out.
Actually, I think it was the idea of perfection.
IF I was going to make crust myself, THEN it had to be totally homemade. As in, elbow grease only. No power tools.
Today I needed to make a tart (yes, needed. sometimes I just need to cook a particular something, today it was a savory tart). I had no cheater crust on hand, but I did have:
unsalted butter
salt
flour
ice water
And a food processor.
So I made it in the food processor. And now my life is forever changed. I will no longer by that hydrogenated cheater crust. This was THAT easy.
