I've never made a whole pie from scratch till a few weeks ago. Made this sweet potato pie for Christmas dinner. The crust was this : Don't try to mix it in a blender and melt the butter first. I did this by hand after loving up the first batch trying to do it in a regular blender instead of a food processor (that I don't have). Wax paper and kneading worked just fine. Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie Ingredients 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Directions Put flour, salt, and sugar in bowl of a food processor, and pulse to combine. Add butter, and process for about 10 seconds, or just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water, tablespoon by tablespoon (1/4 to 1/2 cup), through the feed tube with machine running, just until the dough holds together without being wet or sticky; do not process more than 30 seconds. Test the dough at this point by squeezing a small amount together. If it is crumbly, add a bit more water. Divide dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic wrap, using a rolling pin to flatten into a disk. Chill until needed. Wrapped in plastic, dough can be frozen for several weeks before using. The rest of the pie was this : http://www.marthastewart.com/316561/sweet-potato-pie Ingredients All-purpose flour, for work surface 1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie 2 large sweet potatoes, (about 1 1/2 pounds) 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into pieces, room temperature 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Juice of half a lemon Directions On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 15-inch round.

Let sweet potatoes cool slightly before removing skins by rubbing potatoes with a paper towel. Place sweet potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until the sweet potatoes are well mashed and any stringy pieces of sweet potato have wrapped themselves around the paddle attachment. Remove paddle attachment, wipe clean, and return to mixer. With the mixer on low speed, add butter, and beat until well combined and cooled slightly. Slowly add sugar.
