Ingrédients

Ingredients for Butter Pie Crust Dough Recipe:

• 21/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more to dust, *measured

• 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1/2 lb COLD unsalted butter, (2 sticks) diced into 1/4" piece

• 7 Tbsp ice water, (7 to 8 Tbsp)

Instructions

1. Place flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine.

2. Add cold diced butter and pulse the mixture until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized pieces then stop mixing. Mixture should remain dry and powdery.

3. Add 7 Tbsp ice water and pulse just until moist clumps or small balls form. Press a piece of dough between your finger tips and if the dough sticks together, you have added enough water. If not, add more water a teaspoon full at a time. Be careful not to add too much water or the dough will be sticky and difficult to roll out.

4. Transfer dough to a clean work surface, and gather dough together into a ball (it should not be smor and DO NOT knead the dough). Divide dough in half and flatten to form 2 disks. Cover with plastic u and refrigerate 1 hour before using in recipes that call for pie crust.
