Ingredients for Pie Crust for 2 pie crusts (Recipe from Preppy Kitchen)

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter cut into cubes (227g)
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons ice water (60-90ml)
Instructions
  • In the work bowl of a food processor, combine 1½ cups of flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
  • Add half of the butter. Process until very crumbly and starting to ball up, about 30 seconds. Scatter in the remaining butter and the remaining 1½ cups of flour. Pulse 2 times just to distribute.
  • Drizzle 4 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture. Pulse a few times. Add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, as needed, and pulse once or twice after each addition. The mixture should easily stick together when squeezed, but not feel wet or dry.
  • Transfer the dough onto the counter and form it into a ball. Cut the ball in half and press each half into a dish. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. The disks can also be frozen for a few months and thawed in the fridge overnight before using. 
  • Let out for 45 minutes from fridge before rolling.
