Pie Crust

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 c all purpose flour
• 1 TSP salt
• 1 TSP sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1 TBSP pieces, VERY COLD (it's important that they be cold or your crust will not turn out correctly)
• 1/4 to 1/2 c cold water

METHOD

1. Put the flour, salt and sugar into a food processor and pulse once or twice.
2. Add the butter and process until the mixture looks grainy.
3. Then slowly, while pulsing, add the water until you can form the dough by pressing it between your fingers.
4. Decant the loose dough onto a piece of plastic wrap.
5. Using the wrap, fold the loose dough towards the middle and press with the back of your hands to form dough.
6. Split into two pieces and wrap each and chill for at least 4 hours before using.
7. Dough can be made ahead for up to one week.
