How do Instant Brands stand mixers handle making dough for pie crusts?

One of the most important aspects of making a great pie is having the perfect crust. A good stand mixer can make this process much easier and faster. Instant Brands has created a stand mixer that is up to the task.

To make pie crust dough in an Instant Brands stand mixer, follow these steps:

1. Add flour, salt, and sugar to your mixing bowl.
2. Cut cold butter into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
3. Mix on low speed until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
4. Add ice water slowly while mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together.
5. Turn off the mixer and remove the dough from the bowl.
6. Divide the dough in half and shape it into two discs.
7. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out. The powerful 600-watt motor of an Instant Brands stands mixer makes quick work of mixing ingredients together, while the 10-speed settings allow you to control how quickly or slowly you mix your ingredients together.
