Yield Makes enough for two 9-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 sticks (18 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup plus 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream until dough just holds together (no longer than 30 seconds).
  • Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
