Puff Pastry-Style Pie Dough
2014-07-03 03:53:28
Yields 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 16 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
- 1⁄2 cup whole buttermilk, chilled
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Add buttermilk, stirring until well combined.
- Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface, kneading briefly until dough comes together. Shape dough into a log.
- Roll dough into a 10x8-inch rectangle. Lightly flour both sides, and fold rectangle in thirds, like a letter. Rotate dough 90 degrees, and roll into another 10x8-inch rectangle. Lightly flour both sides, fold into thirds, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or place in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, and freeze up to 3 months.
