All-Butter Pie Dough

Makes 1 (9-inch) crust

Ingredients
  

  • cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
  • ½ cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¼ cup (60 grams) ice water, plus more if needed

Instructions

  • In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour and salt until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly and butter pieces are pea-size. With processor running, add ¼ cup (60 grams) ice water in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together. (Mixture may appear crumbly. It should be moist and hold together when pinched.) Add more ice water if needed.
  • Turn out dough onto a clean surface, and shape into a disk. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. Let dough stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before rolling if refrigerating for longer than 1 hour.
