Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 6 tablespoons ice water
Instructions
Add the flour, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the food processor. Pulse 8-10 times, or until the butter is broken down into pea-sized pieces and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly drizzle in the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between each addition. Stop adding water when the dough just begins to come together. You may not need all 6 tablespoons.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions, and shape each into a flat disk. Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling out.
Once chilled, roll out the dough as desired for your pie recipe. Use as directed for a single or double-crust pie.
