Lemon Zest Pie Crust

Everything you enjoy about a huge, juicy burger may now be transformed into a dip! With ground beef, ketchup, mustard, onions, Cheddar, tomatoes, and pickles, this creamy, delectable appetizer is spiced with McCormick® Brown Gravy Mix. (When we stated everything, it wasn’t an exaggeration!) With steak fries or breadsticks, bake until the cheese is melted. Time to play.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Additional Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 1 hr
Servings: 16
Yield: 2 9-inch pie crusts

Ingredients

  1. 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  2. ½ cup white sugar
  3. 7 tablespoons cold salted butter, cubed
  4. 3 tablespoons ice water, or more as needed
  5. 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  6. 1 small lemon, juiced
  7. ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Sift flour and sugar into a large bowl. Cut in butter until it is in pea-sized pieces.
  2. Make a “well” in the flour mixture. Pour in water and lemon zest. Carefully fold into the flour mixture until lightly combined.
  3. Make another “well” and pour in lemon juice; lightly fold into the batter. Repeat with vanilla extract. Add more water if needed to bring the dough together.
  4. Form dough into 2 separate, equal-sized discs and cover in plastic wrap. Let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.
  5. Step 1 can be done in a food processor or by hand.
  6. For the best results, get a fresh, flavorful lemon. Depending on your likes and dislikes, the lemon zest and juice can be changed around until you like it.
  7. A “well” is a little hole in the flour mixture, almost like a little puddle, where all the wet ingredients go.
