3 cups AP flour 2 sticks cubed chilled butter 1 cup ice water 1 tbs sugar 1 tsp salt I come back here every now and then for the ingredient amounts because I only remember 3-2-1 but never of which haha
Each time I come back to this video I feel I should be paying, it’s so much more than a recipe it’s a thorough step by step tutorial on ingredient options.
Thank You *******What a Great pie crust. I have come back several times over the years. This pie crust has never failed me. I hope your happiness is for ever. Lol Richard
You have the best pie crust presentation I've seen. You present this in a very friendly, basic instructional manner not leaving anything out. Now I realize I don't need to add an egg cause you turn the dough over several times as one would biscuits to make flaky. I'm so glad you keep this on utube and your website. Thank you very much!
It’s been many years and this is still the recipe I come to when I want to make pie dough. She explains so simply but still throughrough and there’s no youtube accent, everything very natural.
My wife and I are attempting home made pie for the 1st time, as store bought is either sub-par or if is quality it is very expensive. The ingredients for 3 pies can be bought for the price of one quality pie. That being said, this video is one of the best we've seen! Simple and to the point with excellent demonstration. Ms. Valencia is a great teacher. Thank-you for this. Can't wait to make our next pie. We'll let you know how it turns out!
I made my very first pie EVER today and used this video as my method to make the pie crust. It turned out unbelievably good. My mom, who's a domestic diva and cook, was super impressed. Thank you very much for this awesome and informative video!
Dear Christina: I have been making pies for years, but I was always on the lookout for "that perfect recipe." Well, my search is over--your recipe was the tastiest, flakiest, most easy to roll out and work with EVER! It was delicious!!! I have used it with sweet and savory fillings, and my family and clients eat every piece of the crust and chase after the crumbs. Thank you for a great tutorial and a wonderful recipe.
Well, Cristina, now I know how to make a latice pie with the excellent pie dough that you have taught us all to make. This is GREAT!!! Thank you very much.
I hope Cristina is still with Jordan Winery so I can thank her for making this tutorial . Wonderful results that have been reproduced many times over . Can't thank you enough for solving my pie crust dilemma and taking the time to share this simple but innovative technique
Your demonstration is straightforward and very easy and professional . You are so far the best that I've seen on TH-cam showing the world how you make your pie crust. Look forward to others.
I've seen many (and also baked) Pie Crusts. This is by far The Best demonstration I've seen. Top it with professional video and we get Real Beautiful Instructional Video. It shows me that in this place people really take care of the little details. This is one of the places if I'm in the area I'll make sure to visit and try a nice meal.
Made this today. Filling was off the charts delicious. Crust was super flaky and buttery, but a bit chewier than I wanted. Will try the pastry flour next. Easily the best pie I've ever made. Thanks!
This video sparked my love for baking. You’re a fantastic teacher! Never have I been more proud of something I made and felt confident while doing it (thankful for pause and rewind lol) - and the final project looked so pretty. Thank you so much - this video is my go to.
Cristina I want to thank you for sharing this recipe. I come from a long line of great bakers...moms, grandmas, aunts. I have seen many of their recipes, but I had troubles getting results as those old recipes seem to be missing the method. I LOVE your approach as I have a Kitchenaid mixer and I got real excited to think that I could use mine to make pastry. I got it mastered on the second try, and now I don't have to be intimidated by making pasty. In fact, I think you make it so simple that anyone could try it and get confidence from the results. I look forward to making more pies! Ellie =)
I love that you explained not only what to do, but also why you are doing it. Very informative...most just tell you what to do without any explanation as to why or what it does. Thank you...wonderful video!!
I appreciate the knowledge that the baker has about all the little details and some of the science behind the baking. Very interesting video, thanks much!
Christina, What a Terrific Complete Lesson.You are easy to follow and very detailed Thank You. If your Boss reads this, Give her a Instructor Title with a raise
I agree with several of the other people that commented on this video. This is s by far a True Quality Rolls Royce standard video in comparison to 90% of the videos I have viewed regarding cooking and/or baking instructions. You are a true professional. I appreciated this video it did not disappoint!
I just made this crust. I have been looking for a great piecrust for 30+ years.....THIS is it!!!! Thank you for posting this. I will use it as my one and only crust for years to come. I am so lucky to have stumbled upon it today. A game changer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS EXCELLENT and thorough video.
What a fabulous video! I've been making crust for years, but it NEVER looked as flakey as this recipe. Great video. Thanks for the professional, yet easy recipe.
Cristina, thanks for sharing your pie crust. I make a fair amount of pies and also use butter. I always do it by hand, never a mixer. I have big hands as well. One thing I do to the recipe is that I add a small amount of canola or corn oil to the ice water before adding to dry mixture. The oil helps to reduce the gluten and makes the dough more workable when chilled. Butter gets hard when cold. I love the layers and flakes your pie crust has. Your pie presentation is right on. Fantastic! Cristina's pie crust recipe is 3-2-1 or: 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 sticks of unsalted-butter or 1 cup of butter (8 oz) 1 cup ice-cold water 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt
Cristina's pie crust recipe is 3-2-1 or: 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 sticks of unsalted-butter or 1 cup of butter (8 oz) 1 cup ice-cold water 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt
Thank you for this! I have watched a lot of pie crust videos and this is by far the best. Usually the videos (and recipes) show far less water than this one, which has never worked for me --the dough was always too dry and I thought I was doing something wrong. Other recipes and videos also mix the dry ingredients much more. What you show makes more sense, and you explained that and the other aspects of the recipe extremely well. I had almost given up making pie crust, but now I'm eager to try it again.
You Tube says I subscribed to your site in 2012. Every time I bake, I come back here. This pie crust is also great for Quiches and Biscuits! I love seeing that this site now has dozens of videos and that this video has pages of comments. I was new to 'utube' then and probably afraid to comment. Thank you. Changed my pies forever.
Your examples of crust are the most beautiful I've seen anywhere!! If I am able to replicate them, I will consider it a huge success. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
I've always said if you love to do something you will be good at it. If you have the talent to do something you will be good at it . But if you have the love and the talent you'll be one of the best. You clearly have both. I've been making pies for over 40 years so i think I know what i'm talking about.
I loved how you shared various options for ingredients and methods of baking,leaving it open-ended for us to explore.Clear and easy instructions to follow,and being able to see what it all means is very helpful.i'm a visual person so this was perfect! :)
I made this today. I've only made a pie once before in my life, about 2 years ago, and it was a total flop. I tried this recipe and technique and it's perfect. Thank you, Cristina, for giving me a fast-lane tutorial to becoming a pie-baking genius. The crust was flaky, tender and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I used apple filling following your instruction, and just mixed in a pint of small blueberries when the cooking was done. The pie is a prize. Take a bow, Cristina!
Cristina thank you. I use this pie crust all the time. I like the way you take time to explain everything you have truly been very helpful. Everyone loves my pies and its all because of you. Thanks
This is the best and easiest pie crust recipe I have ever come across. I've always been so scared to make pie crust so this was only my second attempt and it was SO easy and it came out perfect and is by far one of the best pie crusts I've tasted. Thanks Cristina!
THANK YOU!! I WILL BE MAKING MY FIRST PIE CRUST , I MAKE COOKIE CRUST FOR CHEESECAKES ETC. IM MAKING A PIE CRUST WITH MY NEW KITCHENAID , QUEST: DID YOU USE HALF PASTERY HALF UNBLEACHED OR JUST UNBLEACHED FLOUR SHE SAID YOU CAN I WAS WONDERING IF YOU DID . YOUR PIE SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS A HIT THATS WHY I WAS WONDERING.
I've seen a lot of pie crust recipes. Many of them being good but this girl has it done to a simple science. Great job and thansk for sharing your videos with us wannabe cooks LOL
Great video! I am a novice baker and have tried many recipes trying to get a flaky pie crust. Finally did it by following this video. This is the best pie dough video on TH-cam. Thanks!
Outstanding. I've made pie crusts for years and they're fine, but not great. This video both showed me and explained how to do it better. Thanks. Rock on!
This video is amazing, she was cool, too the point, practical, not fussy about little intricacies, the stuff the scares people away from pastry. I made this twice, on the first time i added too much water so it was sticky, but the proportions and especially her technique about rolling the dough that i have never seen on any recipe on TH-cam made it come out tender and flaky still, second time was even better, soft even layers with even, i could even see the space between the layers when i break it. It's foolproof!
Terrific instructions, to the point, no nonsense a breath of fresh air. and I'm looking forward to trying it because you make it look so simple. Thank you
I’ve never been able to make a good pie crust until now. Comes out absolutely perfect every single time. My husband loves apple pie and now I can make a delicious pie for him. Thanks so much.
Props to Jordan. Very detailed and informative in reasoning while making the pie. It looked awesome. You have me convinced I can make this. thank you and i will make one following you.
I used the recipe and the instructions for my strawberry rhubarb pie. I used half whole wheat flour (substituted one tbsp of the whole wheat flour with corn starch), and it was the flakiest best pie crust I've ever made. It is an amazing recipe and is officially the pie crust I will use for every pie (that calls for a traditional pie crust) I make from now on.
Thank you! made pie crusts before but this is the first time really understanding how and the science behind it after watching :) everyone loved the flakiness!
OMG!!!!----After watch you Ms. Cristina....I feel like I can climb a PIE CRUST MOUNTAIN!. I am practicing tonight. This is the best tutorial for a flaky crust EVER!! No choir practice tonight...so I am going to have myself elbow up in pie crust. And I have a fresh bag of Bob Mill Pastry Flour to throw around. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Cristina. Thank you! I have been attempting to make crust for many years and after watching this, my first attempt was delicious and photo worthy gorgeous! I think you are wonderful. I posted you on Facebook also...
This video is by far, the best video I've seen on this subject! Great work, Cristina! The filming of the video is also performed with excellence! Thanks, from Montreal, Canada! :)
finally found and confirmed what I remember about a flaky crust ,love everything about this video including a good looking teacher :) ; Thank you Cristina.
What Nice unpretentious video this one is..... CONGRATULATIONS.... The explanation is so simple yet genius. Once again simplicity above all.....Your 3-2-1 method is the best I've seen so far. I've learned something new today. Thanks again
Best video I have found with excellent, simplified instructions on pie baking. I followed the video today and my pie looks amazing. I use cookie cutter snowflakes for my topping. I could listen to you teach all day you are so easy to listen to. Thank you so much.
Hi. Women can learn so much about cooking from their mothers growing up but as a guy when I started trying to cook later on I'm sure I made my own bad habits. Watching this video will fix your bad habits. I've followed cookbooks and done ok but this is such a good looking dough. When I first started out, I had dough sticking to the countertop and never could pick it up. I think I better follow this video from now on and retrain myself. So professional.
Wonderful, I absolutely love how concise and informative you were, I had absolutely no questions after the video and the finished products looked amazing, thank you.
😍🥰FINALLY…🙏🏻 THANK U JORDAN, this Chef explained this so perfectly, her TIPS…THE BEST! I love baking from scratch but have given up and slowed it down due to disappointing outcomes, edible, just not to my expectation. Today u explained and made this process look effortless, that I will be baking here in about 15 min attempting this pie crust recipe!! I feel positive! And will use ALL her TIPS!…her 3, 2, 1, THE FOLDING FOR WHAT IVE ALWAYS WANTED…A FLAKY CRUST, egg wash, sprinkled sugar🥰I CAN HARDLY WAIT!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!😘😎
Interesting. Well done. Most other recipes I've looked at and tried used 2 1/2 cups flour and half the water (more water for more flour, but the proportions are very different). Now I know how the layered flakiness is done. Just learned an important method today. I've been over processing my dough!
Jordan Vineyard & Winery Thanks! Just wanted to add that I froze several batches of the pie dough for more pies. Just as good when thawed out too! No rips or anything, just perfect every time.
My mother always used lard, and mixed and kneaded the pastry dough by hand. It was the old tried and true method she learned from her mother on the farm many, many years ago before modern mixers or food processors were around. I just tried recently to make pies myself using her recipe. First try came out good but 2nd time the crust was a little tough. Glad I found this as I have a KitchenAid stand mixer and will try it next time and use butter instead of lard. Thanks. Great tutorial.
WOW WHAT A GREAT LESSON FOR MAKING A PIE DOUGH THANK YOU FOR EXPERTISE & PROFESSIONAL TIPS!!! THIS IS MY FIRST TIME MAKING A PIE CRUST , THANKS FOR THE CONFIDENCE 😍
Like most other commenters, thank you for the brilliant yet simple explanation. I have two gorgeous Saskatoon berry pies to take to my mother in law's house for Saturday supper tonight and I couldn't be more excited.
This is an outstanding tutorial that is professionally done! Thank you for speaking to the variables - flour types, fat types and explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each. This seems like the kind of class that would be fee based at one of the culinary institutes. Thank you so much.
Oh my God thank you so much for making this video. I've just gone through three different tutorials, three different pie crusts, and ended up crying at the end of them because they all fell apart. I went off of your recipe and everything turned out perfect THANK YOU!
3 cups AP flour
2 sticks cubed chilled butter
1 cup ice water
1 tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
I come back here every now and then for the ingredient amounts because I only remember 3-2-1 but never of which haha
It's the same with me, Chris R. In fact, that's why I'm here now! ; )
Is this salted butter?
We
I am confused about the water. Her recipe has 1 cup water. Many other recipes has 1/4 c water. That’s a huge difference!
@@janelc1643 To my knowledge, unless the recipe specifically calls for it, use unsalted butter.
Each time I come back to this video I feel I should be paying, it’s so much more than a recipe it’s a thorough step by step tutorial on ingredient options.

Back again in 2023. Best price crust video hands down. Thank you!
Finally a decent pie crust tutorial on TH-cam. Thank you.
You're welcome
I agree also
Honestly this is the best tutorial ever!!!!! I tried 2 times and failed, found this and it worked on the first try!!!! Thank you!
Jennifer Honnell didn't the buyer ooze out while baking? Maybe my butter chunks were a bit to large ... idk? I followed exactly ?
@@LoriSue52 The buyer? You put the buyer in your pie? 🤣
@@loridennis2989 must be a meat pie
@@LoriSue52 That happen if your butter pieces aren't dusted with flour as baking.
This changed the way I make pie crust and the eatability of my pies. Thanks lady.
Thank you.Precise,Professional and sensible. 3-2-1.

I agree. 7 inch nails and cubic zirconia be damned!
THE best apple pie recipe. And the crust is perfectly flaky.
Great to hear! Thank you, Raquel.

I really found your video to be the most educational. Thank you so much I can’t wait to try my first crust and lattice!
Steve Burnell you’re welcome
Love the tip on the lattice topping made on an inverted plate, frozen, slid off the plate onto top the pie and trimmed off.
I agree, Christina is a good teacher. I think she is very gifted at what she does. I would love to see her do more videos. Thanks.
This video is by far, the best video I've seen on this subject! Great work, Cristina! The filming of the video is also performed with excellence! Thanks, from Montreal, Canada! :)
Made this crust the other day, now I understand WHY I did it the way I did. Very nice. Thank you!

Best video I have found with excellent, simplified instructions on pie baking. I followed the video today and my pie looks amazing. I use cookie cutter snowflakes for my topping. I could listen to you teach all day you are so easy to listen to. Thank you so much.
She will have her own show one day I hope. Simple and sweet...just like her pies. Great video.
I love Christina's videos! She does such a great job explaining the science or the "why" behind what she's doing.
Hi. Women can learn so much about cooking from their mothers growing up but as a guy when I started trying to cook later on I'm sure I made my own bad habits. Watching this video will fix your bad habits. I've followed cookbooks and done ok but this is such a good looking dough. When I first started out, I had dough sticking to the countertop and never could pick it up. I think I better follow this video from now on and retrain myself. So professional.
Excellent video! Wonderful presentation. No irritating background music and very professional. Thank you!
Wonderful, I absolutely love how concise and informative you were, I had absolutely no questions after the video and the finished products looked amazing, thank you.
😍🥰FINALLY…🙏🏻 THANK U JORDAN, this Chef explained this so perfectly, her TIPS…THE BEST! I love baking from scratch but have given up and slowed it down due to disappointing outcomes, edible, just not to my expectation. Today u explained and made this process look effortless, that I will be baking here in about 15 min attempting this pie crust recipe!! I feel positive! And will use ALL her TIPS!…her 3, 2, 1, THE FOLDING FOR WHAT IVE ALWAYS WANTED…A FLAKY CRUST, egg wash, sprinkled sugar🥰I CAN HARDLY WAIT!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!😘😎
So happy this was helpful for you! Enjoy.
This tutorial was great. I'll be making this today. Thank you.
Interesting. Well done. Most other recipes I've looked at and tried used 2 1/2 cups flour and half the water (more water for more flour, but the proportions are very different). Now I know how the layered flakiness is done. Just learned an important method today. I've been over processing my dough!
Glad we can help. Cheers!
Jordan Vineyard & Winery Thanks! Just wanted to add that I froze several batches of the pie dough for more pies. Just as good when thawed out too! No rips or anything, just perfect every time.
Wow... finally a Master. Amazing work!! Keep it up...
My mother always used lard, and mixed and kneaded the pastry dough by hand. It was the old tried and true method she learned from her mother on the farm many, many years ago before modern mixers or food processors were around. I just tried recently to make pies myself using her recipe. First try came out good but 2nd time the crust was a little tough. Glad I found this as I have a KitchenAid stand mixer and will try it next time and use butter instead of lard. Thanks. Great tutorial.

WOW WHAT A GREAT LESSON FOR MAKING A PIE DOUGH THANK YOU FOR EXPERTISE & PROFESSIONAL TIPS!!!
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME MAKING A PIE CRUST , THANKS FOR THE CONFIDENCE 😍
Like most other commenters, thank you for the brilliant yet simple explanation. I have two gorgeous Saskatoon berry pies to take to my mother in law's house for Saturday supper tonight and I couldn't be more excited.
Thanks, especially the tip with the plate to make a lattice pie cover! Wow, this girl knows her baking!
This is the best piecrust video I've watched!!!
This is an outstanding tutorial that is professionally done! Thank you for speaking to the variables - flour types, fat types and explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each. This seems like the kind of class that would be fee based at one of the culinary institutes. Thank you so much.
Oh my God thank you so much for making this video. I've just gone through three different tutorials, three different pie crusts, and ended up crying at the end of them because they all fell apart. I went off of your recipe and everything turned out perfect THANK YOU!
