By cuznvin

Ingredients

• Makes enough for 2 single-crust pies or 1 double-crust fold-over pie.
• 1 In a food processor, pulse 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
• 2 Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining.
• 3 Add 1/4 cup ice water; pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed. (If needed, add up to 4 tablespoons more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Do not overmix.
• 4 Turn out onto a work surface; knead once or twice, until dough comes together. Chill.
