Video: Chez Pim's Super Easy Pie or Tart Dough
"Everybody should have a go-to pie dough or tart dough that they do in their sleep," says Pim Techamuanvivit (aka Chez Pim), who recently came out with a cookbook called The Foodie Handbook. Here she shows us her go-to, which really does look ridiculously easy.
Making a pie crust from scratch always sounds intimidating but this approach is more like playing with Play Doh that happens to turn into a deliciously flaky, buttery crust. (And you can do it straight on the countertop. No bowl required.) Pim finishes it off with frangipagne (she blends the almonds herself, avoiding almond meal) and fruit for a rustic galette. Become a pie dough expert in four minutes, after the jump.

Shirley Corriher's book has a great discussion about all the elements of pie dough and various methods for different textures, and she includes this method.

Screw this, pat-out pie crust all the way man! It's flaky and melty and all kinds of delicious.
