Equipment

Ingredients

1 ¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Sugar
½ Teaspoon Salt
½ Cup Unsalted Butter cold, cut into ½ inch cubes
3-4 Tablespoons Ice Cold Water

Instructions

Place ALL of the ingredients in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before beginning to prep.
Once chilled, sift all dry ingredients together, and cut in butter with a pastry blender or food processor. Make sure you work quickly to keep the butter from softening.
When the butter is the size of peas, add 3 tablespoons of ice water. If the dough is too dry, add up to one more tablespoon of water, a teaspoon at a time.
Place the pie dough on a sheet of plastic wrap and press it into a disc shape.
Cover the dough with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Once the crust is chilled, go ahead and use it in your favorite recipe!
