2
cups (500ml) unbleached,
all-purpose flour
1
teaspoon (5ml) kosher salt
16
tablespoons (240ml)
unsalted butter, cold and
cut into ½-inch (1.25cm)
cubes
¼
cup (60ml) ice water
makes two single-crust 9-inch (22.5cm) pies or one 9-inch
(22.5cm) double-crust pie
1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the
food processor. Add the flour and salt and process for
10 seconds to sift. Add the butter and pulse until the
mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Pour in water 1 tablespoon (15ml) at a time, and pulse
until mixture just forms a dough – you may not need all
of the water. Divide dough equally into two pieces and
form each into a flat disc; wrap in plastic and refrigerate
until ready to use.
NOTE: As long as it is well wrapped, this pastry freezes
well for up to 6 months.
