All-Butter Piecrust
Makes 1 (9-inch) deep-dish crust
- 1½ cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (12 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
- ½ cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ⅓ cup (80 grams) ice water
In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add cold butter; pulse until mixture is crumbly and butter is pea-size. With processor running, add ⅓ cup (80 grams) ice water in a slow, steady stream until dough just comes together.
Turn out dough onto a work surface, and shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks. Let dough stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before rolling out.
