Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, very cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 sticks)
- 8 tablespoons ice water
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor and pulse until mixed.
- Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water until the dough holds together without being sticky.
- Shape the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425°F, roll out a disk into a 9-inch circle, and place in a pie plate.
- Pierce bottom with a fork, chill, then line with foil and weights.
- Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes until golden, applying an egg wash for shine.
- For a double crust pie, prepare the second disk, fill, and seal edges before baking.
Notes
Ensure butter is very cold for the flakiest texture.
Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Chill the dough properly for optimal structure.
