Homemade All-Butter Pie Crust

Ingredients:

1¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter (very cold!), cut into eight slices

About 5-6 tablespoons ice cold water

Instructions:

Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times, just to combine.

Add the butter. Pulse several times until butter and flour begin to combine. Stop when the mixture has the texture of cornmeal. (It will still look very dry; this is a good thing.)

Add 5-6 tablespoons water. Pulse several times to combine. The dough will still look dry but will hold together well when you squeeze it in your hand.

Spread a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter (approx. 1-2 feet long). Gently dump the dough (it will still be a little crumbly) onto plastic wrap.

Pull together the plastic wrap and mold it around the dough so the dough forms a ball inside the wrap. Ta-da!

Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before you roll it out. **
