All Butter Pie Crust

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups (313 g) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (226 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) ice water, plus more as needed

Steps

1. Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter cubes.
2. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter, two forks, or a food processor until it looks like coarse crumbs with pea-size bits of butter.
3. Drizzle in the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each one. Stop when the dough starts to form big clumps. It should feel moist but not wet.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter and gently press it into a ball. Don't overwork it.
5. Cut it in half and flatten each half into a 1-inch-thick disc.
6. Wrap each disc tightly and chill for at least 2 hours (up to 5 days).
7. Roll out the chilled dough from the center outward, turning it as you go, and use it in your pie recipe.
