Time 35m

Yield enough for one 9-inch double-crust pie

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour, cold
1 teaspoon (6 grams) salt
1 tablespoon (11 grams) sugar
1 cup (225 grams) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled in the freezer for 10 minutes
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) ice water
1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) lemon juice

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse together the flour, salt, sugar and butter until the mixture resembles cornmeal with some pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the ice water and the lemon juice. Slowly add the liquid to the flour mixture, pulsing, until the dough just comes together. Squeeze a small piece of dough between your thumb and index finger to make sure it holds its shape.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it in half. Gently turn over each piece of dough a few times so that any dry bits are incorporated. Form each piece into a loose disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
