Coconut Cream Pie (The Best)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and pulse a few times, until it forms pea-sized pieces. Add the water and pulse just until the dough starts coming together. Add more water as needed. Remove the dough from the food processor and form into a disc.

2. 2

   On a floured work surface, roll the dough to form a circle about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Line a 9-inch (23 cm) glass pie dish with the circle of dough. Remove the excess dough around the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch (1.5 cm) overhang. Crimp the overhang of dough in a series of curves to make a decorative pattern. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dough with foil and fill with dried peas or ceramic pie weights.

4. 4

   Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the peas and foil. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the dough is lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
