Sourdough Discard Pie Crust Recipe
Use up your Sourdough Discard to create this delicious and versatile Pie Crust Recipe!
This recipe is incredibly delicious, my preferred way is using Lard, but that’s not always accessible so butter is a great substitute as well. I use this exact recipe for both Chicken Pot Pie as well as Apple Pie. It’s also a great way to use up all that discard you have stored in your fridge. I like to let this ferment overnight then make or freeze the crust the next morning.
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 Cups Flour
- 1 1/2 Teaspoon Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 Cup Lard (or butter)
- 1 Cup Sourdough Discard
Directions
1. In a bowl mix the flour, sugar & salt
2. Place spoonfuls of the lard (or diced butter) into your flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter cut the butter or lard into the flour mixture until fully combined.
3. Pour in the one cup discard and mix well.
4. Cover and let it ferment overnight.
5. Proceed with your favorite pie recipe or Chicken Pot pie recipe.
To Use:
Lightly flour a work surface and take the ball of dough and divide into two. Working with one section at a time using your palms to smash out, finish by rolling out with a rolling pin to the correct size of your pan. Place one crust on the bottom, fill with desired ingredients and place the 2nd crust on top. Crimp the edges, cut slits and bake accordingly.
