Butter Pie Crust Dough Recipe

  • 11 years ago
This is enough for two single crust 10 inch deep dish pies, or one double crust 10 inch deep dish pie.
For the Crust:
2 1/2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp (12 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp (5 g) salt
1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, Cubed & Frozen
1/2 – 3/4 cup (125 – 175 mL) ice water

Place the flour, sugar, salt, and frozen cubed butter in a food processor. Pulse the mixture just until the butter & flour look like fine bread crumbs. Turn the processor to on, and slowly drizzle in the ice water until a ball of dough starts to appear in the mixer bowl. Stop the processor - you don't want to overwork the dough.
Turn the mix out onto the countertop and form into a ball. Divide the dough in half, and wrap each with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least one hour before rolling out.
