Fresh Peach Pie with Flaky Butter Crust Chew Out Loud

WEBAug 4, 2023 · In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Pour mixture over peaches, tossing to coat. Spread …

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, just until there remains small pea-sized butter chunks in the dough. Gently stir in 1 TB of ice cold water at a time, until mixture starts to hold together. It should be pliable enough to stick together when pinched, but not sticky. Work the dough sparingly, using either pastry cutter or cold fingers. The key is not to overwork the dough (avoid using food processor.) The little chunks of butter should still be visible.
2. Gently form 2 dough balls (1 slightly larger than the other) and wrap well in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (up to overnight.)
3. Preheat oven to 450F with rack on second-to-lowest position. Place a large cookie sheet on the rack to heat up.
4. Roll the larger dough ball out to fit bottom/sides of 9-inch pie pan, with bit extra for edges. If dough is firm, you may need to roll it out twice. Place crust in bottom of pie pan. Press evenly into the bottom and up sides of the pan. Press down the edges. Brush bottom crust with some of the beaten egg. Roll the smaller dough ball to fit over top of 9-inch pie pan and set it aside.
