Servings: 2 pie doughs

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 14 tbsp unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 9-11 tbsp ice cold water my sweet spot is 10

Instructions

  • Add flour and salt to a food processor. Pulse 3-4 times.
  • Add cold butter to the food processor and pulse until crumbly, about 4-5 times.
  • Add ice cold water in 1 tbsp increments, pulsing in between until the dough comes together. (10 tbsp was the sweet spot for me)
  • Lightly flour a flat surface and turn dough out into the center. Use hands to gently bring the dough together into a ball. Divide in the dough in half and then gently flatten each into a disc.
  • Wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days.
