Time 1h

Yield Makes enough for 1 double-crusted or 2 single-crusted 9-to-10-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
6 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Combine flour and salt in a food processor, and pulse to blend. Add butter and cream cheese, pulsing until pea-size clumps form.
  • With machine running, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until mixture comes together when pressed in your hand. Divide dough into 2 pieces, and shape each into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes.
