Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch double-crust pie or two 9-inch single-crust pies

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour and salt in a food processor. Add butter, and pulse until mixture forms coarse crumbs with some larger pieces remaining, about 10 seconds.
  • With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream just until dough holds together without being wet or sticky, no longer than 30 seconds.
  • Divide dough in half, and shape into disks. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Dough can be frozen up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.
