INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🧈 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled
    • 🌾 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🍚 3 tablespoons white sugar
    • 💧 ⅓ cup ice water

STEPS

1

Combine flour and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Cut butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and add it to the bowl. Use the paddle attachment to cut the butter into the flour, or do this manually with a pastry blender.

2

With the mixer on low speed or while stirring with a fork, slowly pour in the cold water. Stop mixing when the dough begins to clump but has not yet formed a ball.

3

Lightly knead the dough in the bowl to form a ball. Divide the dough into two portions, flatten each into disks, and chill for about 30 minutes before rolling.

💡 For a flakier crust, make sure the butter remains cold during the mixing process.Wrap the dough disks tightly in plastic wrap before chilling to prevent them from drying out.The dough can be frozen for up to 3 months, making it a convenient make-ahead option for pies.
