Old-Fashioned Pie Dough

In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Using pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add water, stirring just until moistened. Knead until dough forms a ball, approximately 10 turns. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.

Remove dough from refrigerator; bring to room temperature.

On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place dough in 9-inch pie pan, trimming edge. If desired, make decorative edge.
