Time 15m

Yield Pastry for a 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups flour
10 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • This is much more easily done in a food processor than by hand, but either method is acceptable. If the processor is used, put the flour into the container of the processor. Cut in the butter and add the sugar.
  • Start processing while adding the water a little at a time. Add only enough water so that the dough can be held together and shaped into a ball.
  • Or put the flour into a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces on top and sprinkle with sugar. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour. Remove the pastry cutter. Using the hands, start working the mixture while adding the water a teaspoon or so at a time. Add only enough water while working the dough until the dough can be gathered into a ball. Shape the dough into a ball.
  • Flatten the dough into a round patty about one and a half inches thick. Wrap closely in foil or wax paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
