    Pie Crust Recipes Chart

    Updated: Jul 31, 2024 · Published: Jan 18, 2018 · by Jan Nunes

    Image of a chart with text overlay on a red background.

    This chart shows recipes and ingredients for six pie crust recipes: Basic, Hot Water, Half Butter, Full Butter, Cooking Oil, and Sweet Cookie.

    The recipes are listed on the chart according to the simplest ingredients and in order of least to most expensive, so you can compare the ingredients and their proportions to limit the cost of making a pie crust. However, the cooking oil recipe could be less expensive to make depending on the type of cooking oil chosen.

    A chart of 6 pie crust recipes including Basic Economy Crust, Hot Water Crust, Half Butter Crust (Homemade Pie Crust), Full Butter Crust, Cooking Oil Crust, and Sweet Cookie Crust.

    These recipes use the most economical ingredients and easily yield two pie crusts. The chart shows that the flour, fat, salt, and water volumes are the same for the first four recipes.

    The cooking oil-based recipe has adjustments to the volume of flour and water to compensate for the oil. The Sweet Cookie Crust contains a substantial amount of sugar, so it also has additional flour, butter, and 1 egg to help bind the crust.

    The very bottom section of the chart lists the 3 common manual methods of mixing pie crust dough: Cut-in Method, Fork Method, and the Creaming Method. Each mixing method is explained with complete instructions.

    For detailed instructions with pictures on making pie crust, check out my super easy-to-make Homemade Pie Crust Recipe, which uses half butter and half shortening.
