The perfect pie crust for all your sweet and savory pie creations
Ingredients:
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 6-8 tablespoons ice water
Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Divide the dough in half, shape into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
When ready to use, roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish.
Fill with your desired pie filling and bake according to your specific pie recipe.
