Learning to use fresh milled flour takes time and patience! I walk you through my basic recipe. Please note... I said 3/4 lb butter in the video. It is actually 1/2 lb or 2 sticks of butter.
240 - 260 grams fresh milled soft wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 lb grated cold butter
7 (give or take) Tbsp ice cold water
Mix flour and butter together until it resembles small peas
Move all flour to one side of bowl
Add 1 Tbsp water at a time and gently roll flour and water to the other side of the bowl
Repeat until all flour and water are mixed
Be gentle and do not over water or over mix
Turn flour on to floured board and gently knead until it just comes together
Roll into shape, making sure to turn and flour so it doesn't stick
Move to pan and use as intended

I have struggled with pie crust since I gave up white flour and shortening. I’m experimenting with lard and butter with soft white wheat. Going job!

I made a wild dew berry pie today using fresh milled soft white wheat but I used my Betty Crocker recipe which uses shortening and I’ve used this recipe for years and I knew the flour would be more thirsty. This was my first time making a pie crust with this flour, the bottom crust was very soggy and crumbly the top crust was just barely okay. I was very disappointed to say the least. So I’ve looked on KZbin and you were the first to pop up. I will try your way using butter instead of shortening I hope it works for me. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I hope that pie at least tasted good! Do you think the berry mixture was too wet? Did you cook it first and add a thickening agent? Probably. Let me know how this crust works for you! ANd thank yo so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it!

I use frozen berries I’ve made this pie more times than I can count every time it’s been great. The berries were fine it’s the pie crust that wasn’t so great. But I’ll try it with butter next time.

Wow third video of yours I've commented on 😊I have made many Galettes in the past, but used bagged flour for the crust. I will explore this using FMF. I have been making Quiches as of late and think this crust would be wonderful for a Quiche. Your thoughts?

I completely botched that video. This was one of my first videos I ever made and I really didn't know what I was doing. I do make a tomato galette every summer, so i will do that soon!

PLEASE check your mic, I have your video volumn all the way up, my Mac is all the way up and I can barely hear you. I'm a life long pie maker, with Moms methods (I'm 78 years young) make a pretty good crust,...if I do say so. However, I'm brand new to milling at home and don't want to stop my pies , even for a little while. So! please test your mic & I'll be back, needing your expertice!

Thank you so much for your feedback. This was one of the first videos I made and figured out the mic problem and have fixed it. Unfortunately, I can't fix this one. I do have some other FMF recipes on my channel.

I totally agree! It was one of my first videos and I really didn't know how to make a proper video. 😞 I will be doing one again some day soon.
