How to Make Perfect Pie Crust
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ c all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 c very cold butter, cut into small pieces 2 sticks
- 7-9 teaspoon ice cold water
Instructions
- Combine the flour and salt in a food processor.
- Add in the cold butter.
- Pulse the food processor until the butter is broken up and the mixture is crumbly.
- Turn on the food processor and drizzle in the water. Add just enough water to make a crumbly dough. If you add enough water for the dough to come together into a ball, you will have dough that is way too wet and will be tough.
- Separate the dough and form into two disks. Wrap them in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes before using.
