Equipment

1 Food Processor
1 Rolling Pin
1 Plastic Wrap
1 Measuring Cups
1 Measuring Spoons
1 Pie Dish
1 Pastry Cutter optional

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 stick unsalted butter chilled and cut into small cubes
7 tbsp cold water

Instructions

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In the bowl of your food processor, combine the flour and salt. Pulse a few times to mix.
Add the Butter: Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
Incorporate Water: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing briefly after each addition. Stop adding water when the dough begins to clump together, but isn’t wet or sticky.
Form the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Gather it into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap the dough disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days, if not using immediately.
Roll Out the Dough: When ready to use, remove the dough from the fridge and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit your pie dish. Carefully transfer the rolled

Notes

If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the butter into the flour.
For a sweeter pie crust, you can add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the dry ingredients.
To ensure your pie crust doesn’t shrink during baking, chill the rolled-out dough in the pie dish for 15-20 minutes before baking.
