Print Recipe

Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Butter Unsalted
  • 3 Tbsp Cold Water
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • The butter must be very cold and cubed.
  • Add flour, salt and sugar to the food processor and pulse to mix.
  • Add the cubes of butter and pulse to mix. Once the flour and butter start to form small beads slowly add the COLD water to the processor a little at a time and pulse in between. Eventually the dough will form into a ball. The dough should be a little sticky and easy to work with.
  • Add the ball to a floured surface and form into a disc. Wrap the disc in Saran Wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours.
  • Remove from the fridge about 15 minutes before using.
  • To roll the dough use a rolling pin and do a quarter turn after each pass. This will help to keep your dough round. Make it about 11" round so it will fit a 9" pie pan nicely.
