Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 6 to 8 tbsp ice water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until pea-sized crumbs form.
- Gradually mix in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts coming together—moist but not sticky.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until combined. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick and carefully place it into a 9-inch pie pan.
