RECIPE
All Buttah Pie Dough
Makes one 9 inch / 23 cm pie crust
INGREDIENTS
151 grams / 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
113 grams / 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into ½ inch / 13 mm cubes
60 grams / 1/4 cup ice water, plus more as needed
THE STEPS
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter, tossing the cubes through the flour until each individual piece is well coated. ‘Cut’ the butter into the flour by pressing the pieces between your fingers, flattening the cubes into big shards. As you work, continue to toss the butter through the flour, re-coating the shingled pieces.
2. For a flaky crust, continue cutting the butter into the flour just until the pieces of butter are about the size of walnut halves. Or, for a mealy crust, continue to work the mixture together until the pieces of butter are about the size of peas.
3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the amount of ice water listed in the recipe to the well, but have more on hand. Use a tossing motion with your hands to start to mix the two together (this begins to combine them without creating too much gluten). As it begins to become hydrated, you can start to use more of a kneading motion - but don’t overdo it: this will make the dough tough. Add more water about 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is properly hydrated: it should be uniformly combined and hold together easily, but it won’t look totally smooth. Dough that is too dry may have sort of a “dusty” appearance, or pockets of un-hydrated flour. It will not hold together and will appear crumbly. Dough that is too wet will feel sticky or tacky to the touch, and is often smoother and/or lighter in color.
4. Form the dough into an even disk (or into another shape if directed by the recipe - or if you are multiplying the recipe to make multiple crusts, divide the dough appropriately). Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes-1 hour.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½ inch/1 cm thick (the exact shape and size doesn’t matter here, just the thickness). Brush away any excess flour from the surface of the dough, and fold it in half horizontally. Then, fold the dough in half again (you’ve now folded it into quarters).
6. If the dough feels sticky or soft to the touch, re-wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for 30 minutes before proceeding. If it doesn’t, repeat step 5.
7. Tuck the ends of your folded dough under itself to create a round disk of dough. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and up to 2 days before using.
Make Ahead and Storage:
The tightly wrapped disk of dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Wrapped in a layer of plastic wrap, then a layer of aluminum foil, the dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using.

I had to watch the intro multiple times, trying to explain to my kids how you nailed the start of all the TV shows I grew up with!
totally 😂
YES! Same feeling!!
just how old are you!
Erin is classier than relying on the descriptor "AF".
I can't decide if it's more Family Matters or Full House!
To those of you who have not purchased her books, you are missing out… they are full of great recipes and a pleasure to read.. worth the money for certain!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you! 🥰
OKAY THIS INTRO IS THE BEST THING EVER AND I WANT TO LIVE IN IT
Is it just me or does anybody else have goosebumps that we finally get to hear from the Queen herself!?!? All this time that I've been watching EJM content elsewhere on YT and never seeing her direct responses to comments has always left a little pie-shaped whole in my heart [clearly I can't get enough EJM, y'all :)], so words cannot express enough just how thrilled I am to see this channel coming to life!!
Congratulations, Erin!! I realize you are an established professional in your field, but knowing that you've added this channel to your list of achievements makes me so very happy for you! Being the Mistress of your own ship has got to be such a sweet feeling!Excited to see what you've got in store for us.....💛
🥹 thank you for this sweet message! I’m so excited to bring you even more sweetness and it does feel quite good to be captain of this particular buttery ship 🥰🥰🥰 thanks for joining us for the fun!
Covid
Your technique of tucking the dough back into a circle is blowing my mind!
SO excited that you’ve started your own channel. The moment I found out, I immediately went to UA-cam, hit subscribe and the like button after seeing your video! I’ve always loved your books and loved watching your previous videos. ❤ your energy and ❤ your teaching style! You simplify the difficult tasks and you always INSPIRE! I have a new favorite show on UA-cam! Thanks for all the lessons you so generously provide to all of us!
Thank you so much 🥰 I’m so excited to create this space for more baking, more fun, and more happy baker friends! ❤
Tillamook!!!! Not only are their products wonderful, they treat their cows so well. Their state of the art milking barns allow the cows to decide when and how often they want to be milked. They have large pastures and beds with shredded foam instead of scratchy hay. If you are in Oregon consider visiting the Tillamook farm.
Foam? How do they clean that? And it can't be recyclable. Also, to a cow hide, hay is not scratchy.
I love every video you make. What a fabulous chef! Those old photos of you in culinary school are a gas. Thank you for teaching so many new things.
Intro was everything I needed
THE best intro on UA-cam ever!!
I feel like I just had an out of body experience from seeing an intro that Kansas City. Love it.
Love that you have done this! And love that Brimley is a regular cast member as per the opening credits. You are the very best instructor. Great explanations and camera work. Thanks Erin Jeanne!
Happy you're revisiting pie dough at the top of this series. Every non-Erin pie dough recipe on the internet has basically the same mistake and I couldn't figure this out until finally saw the food52 series by Erin a couple of years ago. The mistake is that everyone's trying not to add too much water so they work the butter too much until the butter is hydrating the dough. You should in fact use as much water as needed to turn the flour into dough and keep the butter solid for the entire duration. This also pretty much busts the myth of warm hands, since when doing it the correct way the whole process is done within a few of minutes with minimal butter contact.
I have been sitting here with my iPad open and waiting for your new video. You are fantastic, you teach and explain wonderfully. I have your three cookbooks and waiting for you to do another one. Erin, you are fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for your support and joining me on this sweet (and sometimes Savory) journey!!!!
Your instruction is masterful , I've watched many of your video , have your books and have learned so much from you.
Thank-you teaching and inspiring all of us.
The world is a yummier place because of you and your smile.
Thanks so much for these sweet words! You made my day! ❤
I accidentally stumbled upon your Savory Baking book at a library sale. I thought I was done buying cookbooks but here I am now the proud owner of all 3 of your books. I am longing to work through them. I have since watched some of your videos and must say you are a wonderful, clear, informative and fun teacher! ! I know what I will be doing this spring. Thank you for all you do.
I’m so glad you love the books, and I’m so happy to have earned a place on your shelf! Thanks for joining me here for even more baking fun! ❤
I have never known what to do with the bits of dough that just wouldn’t join with the group!!! Thank you for showing that and walking through the solution!!!
Love this🧡🩵🧡🩵
I'm so chuffed about this. I have your books, but seeing you make it is really helpful. I've always struggled with pie dough, but you really make me feel like I can do it.
you CAN do it!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
You are SO good at explaining complex concepts. 💯🥧💥 I hope a future episode talks about putting the dough in the dish/tin and blind baking (weirdly, this is usually the part I mess up the most!)
You must be reading my mind! A video with just that is headed your way soon! ❤
You have become my go-to baking guru & I just want to thank you for being so deliciously detailed, delectably delightful, & downright dutiful in your designation of helping us become better Bakers
🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you for joining me here! ❤❤❤❤❤
That opening is ADORABLE. Really enjoyed this first episode. I'm excited for more!! 😊
Finally tried your butter-squashing and folded pie dough technique and I am never going back to the old ways. Thank you Erin!
Erin I would love to see you make pie dough with freshly ground wheat. I think it is a totally different character. So I would love to see what we need to do differently to make a successful pie crust. Thank you
Definitely! Freshly ground flour behaves super differently - especially when it comes to hydration! I don’t have a mill, but this is definitely a great idea! 💛
Erin I just tried your All Buttah pie dough. I am in love! It roll out so beautifully. I 😊made a lovely two crust peach pie and a single crust rhubarb custard pie. They were a hit for our Father’s Day get together, no leftovers😢😊😂❤
I'm so glad!!!! Thanks for sharing this baking win with me!
Hello Erin from Tillamook Co. Oregon!!! Love your channel and love the butter!
I am beyond happy that you are doing this! I love the opening and the episode is so perfect. I have been on an eclair jag (I lost a bet to my bestie and owed her 3 batches) so I am ready to tackle something else...enter pie!
Mmm I love eclairs, but pie will always have my heart!!!! Wishing you lots of hap-PIE baking :)
Love this! I'll admit to watching the intro more than once!
Love this!! ❤
Thank you for showing the specifics of making pie dough by hand. It looks like a lot more handling than what I am used to doing. I can’t wait to try it!
People are afraid of overworking pie dough, but as long as you allow enough rest time after handling, it can actually benefit the dough!!!!! ❤
This is fabulous!!!!!
Great video!! Thank you Ms. Erin!
I already feel better and I'm only on the opening credits with Erin and Brimley running across the field! ❤
If you watch closely, you’ll realize how NOT into filming Brimley was on this day. First at the park and then in the leaf pile, there were other people nearby who maybe might have wanted to pet him, so he’s just looking longingly at those people while succumbing to my silly will 😂 what a good boy 💛💛💛💛
Love the intro! I'm very excited to watch your UA-cams This is great!
This is AWESOME!! That intro!! ❤
So happy to see you on your own channel. Sent your savory cookbook to my daughter as a Christmas gift, she loves it just as much as Ido. Thanks for the great tips and recipes. 👍
Thanks so much for your support ❤️🥰❤️
Thank you for going through this in detail. Much needed and much appreciated. ❤❤❤
Loved ❤ watching you this morning in Australia. Excited to try this recipe Erin. Thank you 😊
obsessed with the intro & i'm lovin this series already!!
Immediately subbed, excited to see what you have in store for us in your own format! Appreciate the time you took to add subtitles, thanks
I came here to worship at the Erin Temple of Pie and came away happy.
🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🤍🤎
We light a candle for greasy, soggy crusts of the past - and pray to Saint Brimley for the flakiest of futures! 🙏
So happy to see you here, love your style and your bakes too, of course!
You explain everything SO well! Thank you so much for making videos!
I'm so excited for more videos! You're amazing and such a great teacher!!
Thank you Erin for truly inspiring me !
My one quest is to learn how to make pies and this tutorial covered every step to give me the confidence.
I am so happy 🎉🎉. Congratulations Erin. So looking forward to learning with you. You are a joy to watch.
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
Great video, I loved it, you are one of my top baking teachers!
Love your personality! And your pie crust!
Erin! OMG, so happy you have an active channel showcasing you! LOVE the intro, and great first lesson in dough mixing! Thanks for explaining so thoroughly as is your style.
I love my “Book on Pie” cookbook!! Buy it, you will not regret it.🎉🎉
What a wonderful find. You are such a joy to listen to and learn from. By far one of my favorites.
Love the detail explanation and different methods and thank you for including metric for all of us who don't live in the U.S. 🤗🤩❤
🥰 my pleasure! FYI: all my recipes in all my books contain both metric + US measures for this reason! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! The intro alone made me smile. Can't wait for more! xoxox
I was traumatized by attempting to make pie dough when I was about 10 years old, and was never brave enough to try again. I'm now in my 70s, and after watching this masterful demo, I just might muster up the courage to break out my rolling pin and have another go! It's never too late to learn something new. Thank you, Erin, for sharing your knowledge! 💗
You can do it! I completely understand about pie dough trauma! I made it my daughter’s thing, she makes pies, but I just might give it another try!
you’ve got this! So happy to I can be here to cheer you on from afar!!!! ❤
Such a wonderful teacher!
Really helpful to watch the video and see all the tips in action.
Congrats on the launching on You Tube. Great demonstration that really explained how and why you have an amazing pie dough recipe.
I’ve watched this over and over again …. I love it!!!

Love the intro and so happy for this channel! I have always been so curious how the edges of your dough were so smooth. Now I know, you were probably doing the extra flaky all buttah dough!😊 Any who, I'm totally looking forward to more.

Loving all the info, so excited to try! Can't wait for the next!
Extra thanks for adding the centimeter measure for thickness 👍👍

Hey, Erin, congrats! 🎉🎉🎉👑👑👑 I am so excited to watch every lesson you will teach on your OWN channel. woo-hoo! My family cannot believe the amazing pies, tarts, hand pies, etc. that I baked over the holiday, and it is all because of your excellent teaching. I am a retired 4th/5th grade teacher of 20 years, so I know excellent teaching when I see it. You are inspiring, and a breath of fresh air in tough times. Thank you and Happy Baking! ❤
Thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰 my main goal is for folks to not be scared to try something in the kitchen - cus fear ruins all the fun!!!!!! ❤
I always tell people about your pie dough recipe! People think I’m a pie genius but I tell them it’s all about following your instructions.

I didn’t know you had your own channel, I’ve never clicked the subscribe button so fast lol
Omg! I love you!!! ❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣👍🏼👍🏼😊
The opening......I LOVE IT. It's SO much. Just perfect, Erin. I'm 20 seconds into the video and already I've hit pause to comment.
Amazing first episode! Can’t wait to try it out. Its super helpful that the whole recipe is listed in the description and with the weights in grams! Looking forward to many more episodes
Thanks for pointing this out! I always want my recipes to be easy for everyone to use, so I use both metric and US measurements - the same is true in all three of my books, for anyone curious! ❤
Love it,hello from Connecticut🥧❤ cant wait to see more videos fellow alum CIA 1990 Pastry Arts.❤I love you explain the reason why you do this or not that,so smart!So many people have recipes that are poorly written,job well done.I love butter,totally agree the flavor,YUM!
THAT WAS AWESOME! You nailed 80/90s sitcoms🤣👏🏼🤣👏🏼 Of course you nailed the pie, no surprise there!
Wonderful video! Thank you! ❤ Have not made pie crust before but will be giving it a try now! 😊❤
YOU CAN DO IT! ❤
I love watching your videos. I did not realize you were from Kansas. It was cool recognizing things from your intro.
I’m originally from Lawrence Kansas - rock chalk! After 17 years in and around NJ/NYC, I’m back in KC! ❤️
Oh funny. I’m from Topeka but live in Northern NJ. Rock chalk indeed!
So happy you started this channel. I have wished for a long time that you would have your own channel. Now I am going to order the pie book!! Loved the first video!!
So happy to make this sweet wish come true! Thanks for joining me 🥰
Gahhh, best day ever! You are so much fun! I appreciate the butter tip! I am now going to do a butter taste test to figure out my favorite! ALSO I am saving up to book a virtual bake session with you because you are just the best!
I can’t wait to virtually meet you! For those who aren’t as in the know as Hannah, I love teaching private baking classes and you can find them on my website:
www.erinjeannemcdowell.com/classes
What?!? There is a virtual bake session option? Whoa! 🎉
I just realized you have your own utube channel. I'm so happy I found it. I've subscribed and will follow you anywhere. You are my baking mentor. I'm so happy.❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the sweet words, and for joining me here! ❤
What?? That Sitcom opening is hilarious! So glad you've decided to get going on a channel all your own though I'll happily take your content in any form I can get it. I'd just begun to get a clue about making pie crust when I became disabled and limited in oxygen and mobility. I'd love to see a more in depth video on making flaky pie crust in a stand mixer since it seems like that would take a little less out of me. Best of luck with your new channel!
The great news is, it really is the same as this video - you use the paddle attachment to incorporate the butter to the desired size before adding the water! I'll try to make a short about this soon to show you!
Oh yay! I can't wait!
So happy you have your own channel! I love your books, & I use this dough recipe constantly. It's the absolute best.
I've been having trouble with the Chocolate Sugar Pie and would be very grateful to watch how you do it. Thank you!
The sugar pie can be SO easy but you’re not the first one to let me know you’ve had problems! We can definitely add it to the docket, because visuals are extremely helpful with that recipe! ❤
I’m so happy you started your own channel Erin. I love your tutorial style so I really know what I’m supposed to do. I use your rough puff recipe all the time. I’m hoping you’re going to work on a quicker yeasted laminated dough so I can make better croissants a bit more quickly. Thank you.
Love this recipe & both Fearless Baker and Book on Pie. (Savory Baking is on my wish list! )
Aw, thank you so much! I hope Savory Baking finds it's way onto your bookshelf soon! It's the perfect time of year to bake from it!!!
SO, SO Excellent! And yes I'am watching you on instagram, and yes I have your pie book and now youtube! I'm thrilled.
Thanks so much for joining me on this new journey! ❤
🤣 That opener!!!
Also, can you put the dough into a glass dish, with a lid to chill? I try to limit the use of plastic wraps. Thank you.
I prefer reusable beeswax wrap for this over a lid - pie dough can dry out quickly if exposed to air! ❤
Loved your first episode on pie dough. I have always been intimated when making pies because I am gluten free and it seems so difficult to get it correct. You have inspired me to try again. Would love to see an episode on working with gluten free flour.
This is such a great and extensive explanation and recipe. I love that you explain each ingredients, what they do, and why you use them as well as ingredients you don't use !
Thanks so much! My goal is if people understand how baking works, they can feel more freedom to experiment and create their own unique bakes! ❤
I had doubts about how large the pieces of butter were but this crust bakes up perfectly. I keep some in the freezer to top quick pot pies. And I love your book!
Just bought your three cookbooks and this video/channel is…filling in the pie! Can’t wait to start this baking journey with you as my yoda!!! Brilliant and cheers!
Thanks so much for your support!!! 🥰 I’ll be sharing some of my fave recipes from all three books here, join me + bake along! ❤❤❤❤
“Featuring electricity” is goddess level snark. You were already the very best. I wish every possible good thing for you.
Thanks for sharing the love 🥰❤🥰
I am so happy you started this channel! I love your Book on Pie! My favorite recipes are the rhubarb pie and the pecan pie. 😋My European family and friends also love it that I discovered your baking.😄 It is a whole new culinary experience for all of us! I would love to see an episode on sheet cakes!
Thanks so much for sharing this with me, so happy to bring some new pie recipes into your world 🥰 - yes, we love sheet cakes around here, so I’m ON IT!
