By á-46232

This recipe makes about 1 ½ standard pie crusts, an amount intended for making mini pies.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 3/4 cup butter cut into 1 inch cubes and chilled
• 5-7 tbsp ice water

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Toss butter in the flour mixture, then rub it with your finger tips until mixture is coarse and no chunks larger than a large pea remain. Add in water gradually and stir with a fork until dough starts to come together, then press dough into a ball with the palms of your hands. If dough is dry, add an additional tablespoon or two of water to pull the dough together. Divide dough into two balls and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour before using.
