December 24th: I already know what I'm baking for Christmas Day. It's been sitting there at the bottom of my To-Bake list like a little shining beacon guiding me home. It's going to be a pie. But, as with yesterday's pie, I need a crust. And I'm not about to send my husband out for another one. Plus, I already have a recipe, the one I was going to use last night until I realized it would take too long.
This crust recipe is really easy in some respects because you just combine all the ingredients in a food processor. The tricky part is making sure the butter and water are cold enough. The recipe says to leave the butter in the freeze for at least 15 minutes, but I left it in there closer to an hour. And, to make sure my water is cold enough, I actually put ice in it rather than just running the tap until it feels ice cold.
So now the discs wait in the refrigerator for they're application tomorrow . . .
