Hometown Buffet Butter Crust
Note: "The texture of this dough is not going to be at all like traditional piecrust dough. This dough is very moist and buttery feeling when you work with it. You might even wonder if you have too much butter in the recipe or maybe the 1/4-pound is a misprint! Trust me! It works!. It taste and looks as flaky as a French pastry crust! You don't need the one small mixing bowl plus your electric mixer to prepare it." Butter Crust Pie Crust "No rolling pin used. This is the only piecrust I will use in baking pies." 1/4 pound butter (or margarine) 1-cup flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1-teaspoon salt 1/4-teaspoon cinnamon . Put the batter in 1 1/2 quart Pyrex mixing bowl and melt it in microwave on "defrost" or melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, but DO NOT let it change color. Butter must still be warm when you work with it. Have the rest of the ingredients all in one cup or small bowl and have electric mixer plugged in and ready to use! Work quickly with this. When butter is completely melted dump in those other ingredients all at once and beat with mixer on high speed for 1/2 minute! Just 30 seconds! That's all! The mixture will leave the center of the bowl and start to cling to the sides of the bowl. Gather it up quickly and pat it out evenly over Pam-sprayed 9" pie pan (or for thinner crust use 10") Partially bake the crust empty at 375°F. for 10 minutes before adding a baked-type filling and for a NO-BAKE Filling, completely bake the crust at 375°F. for about 18 minutes or till golden brown. Makes one crust. DO NOT DOUBLE THIS RECIPE because the dough must be warm when you pat it out over the prepared pan. If dough cools off it will crumble and become a mess! You'll weep and write me a letter of complaint! Margarine is all right in a pinch or for low cholesterol diets, but the butter gives the best flavor.
