Recipe: Easy No-Roll Pie Crust (using butter and powdered sugar)

Easy No-Roll Pie Crust (using butter and powdered sugar)
rec.food.cooking/Adam P Ross (1993)

I learned this from a friend from Virginia who got it from his grandmother...

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened (room temperature)
1 cup flour
1 cup powdered (confectioner's) sugar

Put all ingredients into a bowl or even just on a flat work surface.

Work it all together with your hands until a dough is formed. This takes 5-10 minutes.

Press into an 8-inch pie plate, prick a few times.

Bake with or without filling (depending on your pie) until golden (10-12 minutes I think).

We made 14 of these once, lemon meringue and peanut butter, for 80 people for a semi-formal.
