Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
Instructions
Chill the butter in the refrigerator until cold. Cut it into small cubes (1/2-inch pieces) and return to the fridge while preparing other ingredients.
Fit your Kitchenaid stand mixer with the flat beater attachment.
In the mixer bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix on low speed for a few seconds to combine.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients in the bowl. Turn the mixer to medium-low speed and mix until the butter is broken into pea-sized pieces. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually drizzle in the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while the mixer runs. Continue mixing until the dough just begins to come together and forms large clumps. Avoid overmixing; the dough should not form into a ball in the mixer.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently gather and press it together into a ball, then divide it in half. Flatten each half into a disc about 1 inch thick. Wrap each disc tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling.
When ready to use, roll the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Use for pies, quiches, or tarts as needed.
