Cups all-purpose flour
Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces
/4 teaspoon salt
Tablespoons milk
-4 tablespoons ice water
Directions:
In work bowl of food processor, place flour, butter and salt. Pulse until flour and butter are incorporated and the dough resembles coarse meal. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of ice water. Pulse. Add more ice water as needed until a dough forms. Remove pie dough from processor and divide and form two rounds. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
