Basic Pie Crust
Ingredients
Makes 2 – 9 inch crusts
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1 cup cold butter, cut into cubes (we recommend Hope Hi Fat Butter)
½ cup ice water
Preparation
In food processor, pulse flour, salt, and butter until pea-size crumbs form. With motor running on low, add ice water slowly just until the dough starts to form. Remove to a floured surface and form into a ball. Cut in half, pat into 2 discs, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours before using.
*make a double or triple batch, wrap discs well and freeze for quick pies and quiches
