no-fear pie crust, when it comes to frustration, few kitchen tasks can rival that of making pie dough. the rules are both precise (for optimal flakiness the fat must be very cold and cut into the flour just so) and maddeningly vague (recipes typically call for 4 to 6 tbsp of ice water, or more as needed). and moving the pastry into the waiting pie plate is easier said than done. but buying a prebaked pie shell isn tsp the answer; these all-shortening doughs lack buttery flavor. we set out to find a pie dough that we could make without fear. here s what we learned., test kitchen discoveries, a pat-in-the-pan pie dough is a no-fear dough because there s no need to roll it out or to transfer it to the pie plate after it s been rolled out. conventional doughs are either too sticky or too stiff to be pressed directly into a pie plate., adding cream cheese makes pie dough easy to manipulate. in addition, both the acidity of the cream cheese and its fat promote tenderness., moisture in cream cheese replaces the traditional ice water , eliminating the guesswork about the amount to add., as long as the dough is chilled when it goes into the oven , it won tsp shrink, so there s no need to use the pie weights usually required when baking an empty pie shell.
