Tender Cream Cheese Pastry (Pie Crust)

Ingredients:

(For A Single Crust)

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

4 ounces (half an 8-ounce package) full-fat cream cheese, softened

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, sifted

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


(For A Double Crust)

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

Once 8-ounce package full-fat cream cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour



Directions:

To make with an electric mixer, combine the butter, cream cheese, and salt into a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a flat beater attachment. Blend for 30 - 45 seconds on medium-low speed. Stop once or twice, if necessary, to scrape the dough from the beater. Next, add in the confectioners' sugar and the flour, stirring after each addition.
