Easy Pie Crust

1/3 cup plus 1 Tablespoon cold butter
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3 Tablespoons Ice cold water

Using a food processor, cut butter (sliced into Tablespoons), flour and salt until mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Start mixing, then gradually begin adding the water a tablespoon at a time until the dough starts to come together as a ball. I usually use all 3 tablespoons of the water.

Take a piece of wax paper and place on table. Place dough on paper and put another piece over the top of the wax paper. Roll out to desired shape. Place in fridge until needed.
If you need to bake this: 8-10 minutes at 375.

I use mine for quiche and never bake it.


This makes one single pie crust.

Turns out beautifully every time. Here's what I do. If you make your wax paper long enough, you can hang it over the counter and hold it with your stomach. Not a very attractive picture, I know, but it works so you can use both your hands to roll out your dough.
