Ingredients:
2 1⁄2 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbs sugar (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 c butter (2 sticks), cubed
1/3 c ice cold water
Instructions:
Add flour, sugar, and salt to a food processor. Using the blade attachment, pulse
3x to mix. Add cubed butter (cube it and put into freezer for about 20 minutes),
and pulse until the butter pieces are pea or small gravel sized. Add ice cold
water (but no pieces of ice) while pulsing the food processor. Now turn on, and
let run just until the dough comes together. This is about 30-45 seconds. You
don’t want to overwork the pie dough, so less is better than too much. It
shouldn’t come into a solid ball, but just start to come together. Turn out onto
pastry mat and press into a ball. Divide into 2 equal pieces. Press into a disk
shape and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for about an hour. This
will make it easier to roll out. You can also leave it in the refrigerator for up to 3
days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Once ready to roll out, use a rolling pin and
roll into about an 11-to-12-inch in diameter circle. Place into a 9” pie plate, press
into the bottom, and trim the edges so there is about 1 inch of extra dough all
the way around the perimeter. Turn under, and then flute into desired design.
Bake as directed for type of pie you are making. Enjoy your homemade pie
crust!!
