Ingredients

Scale

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1 cup butter, cold

7-8 tbsp cold water, (refrigerated)

Instructions

Step 1: Add flour, sugar and salt into a bowl and mix.

Step 2: Cut cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter, combine the butter with the flour mixture. You can leave small pieces of butter in the flour.

Step 3: Add four tablespoons of water into the pie crust and start mixing with your hands. Add three more tablespoons of cold water and continue mixing. If the dough is still too dry, add 1 more tablespoon of water and mix just until the dough comes together and there is no dry ingredients in the bowl.

Step 4: Split the pie dough in two, shape into a round ball and flatten. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes before rolling.
