Description
The very first thing I learned how to cook! This freezes beautifully; no well-equipped home is without a ball of pie dough in the freezer! Guaranteed to roll!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- ⅓ cup ice water
Instructions
- Combine flour and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer. Cut butter into tablespoon pieces; add it to the flour and butter. Use the paddle beater to cut the butter and flour together. Alternatively
- this can be done by hand with a pastry blender.
- With the mixer on low speed
- or while stirring the mixture with a fork
- pour in the cold water. When the dough starts to clump
- and before it turns into a ball
- stop stirring.
- Lightly knead dough in the bowl until it forms a ball. Divide dough into two parts. Flatten each part into a disk
- and chill for about 30 minutes before rolling.
