All-Butter Piecrust

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions

  • In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour and salt until combined. Add cold butter; 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 but should be moist and hold together when pinched.) Add additional ice water, 1 tablespoon (15 grams) at a time, if needed.
  • Turn out dough, and shape into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let frozen dough thaw overnight in refrigerator before using. If refrigerating for longer than 1 hour, let dough stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before rolling out.
