Yield Makes enough for 1 double-crust or 2 single-crust pies

Number Of Ingredients 4

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

Steps:

  • Pulse flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, cut into small pieces, 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 until dough just holds together without being wet or sticky, no longer than 30 seconds.
  • Divide dough in half; flatten and shape into disks, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
