Basic Pie Crust

Making homemade pie crust and does not take a long time.  It is easier to make it than it is to get in the car and go to the store.  The recipe is simple and is done in 2 minutes.  Make your own, it is worth it.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 sticks butter, cold and cut into cubes
1/2 cup ice water

Here's how;

Add flour and salt to the food processor.  Pulse to combine.

Flour and sugar combined

Add butter and pulse until it is the size of peas.

Using the top feed of the processor, pour in the water until it just comes together.  If you use less that is ok, just don't add too much to make it sticky and wet.

Just coming together.

Take the dough out the processor, cut in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap.  Chill in the refirgerator for one hour.  It can be done overnight and stored in the freezer for future use.

Rol out the dough and use as needed.
