Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4-1/2 cup ice water

Directions:

Secrets to a good pie crust: chilled ingredients and chilled dough. Margarine or shortening can be used instead of butter (but butter is my favorite!).
Put flour, salt and sugar in a bowl, blender or food processor. Add the pieces of butter and process approximately 10 seconds or until it resembles coarse meal. .
Add ice water drop by drop while machine is running (or you are mixing)- just until dough holds together without being wet or sticky. Do not mix longer than 30 seconds.
Roll dough out on a piece of plastic wrap. Press down slightly. Chill for at least one hour.
