It's a tender, flaky crust, with rich buttery flavor and it's all natural, with only butter and no shortening. Homemade pie crust is quick and easy to make. In the bowl of a food processor combine two and a half cups of flour, 1/2 a tablespoon of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt.
Pulse those together to combine. Now you'll need half a pound of unsalted cold butter, straight from the fridge.
Dice the butter into small pieces, then transfer it into the food processor. Pulse the mixture together until coarse crumbs form, with some pea-sized pieces, then stop mixing. It should be dry and powdery at this point. Now add exactly 6 tablespoons of ice water, then pulse just until moist clumps or small balls form.
To test if you've added enough water, press some of the dough between your fingertips and it should stick together. If you over mix or add too much water the dough will be sticky and difficult to roll out.
Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and pull it together quickly with your hands. Do not knead the dough at this point, just pull it together. Now divide it in half and flatten to form two equal disks.
Wrap each disc in a sheet of plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator. All right, you want to wrap these up in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour and then you can use them for any recipe that calls for pie dough.
