Pie Crust

I took this recipe off of the Martha Stewart website.

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup chilled (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut in pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Place flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor, and process for a few seconds to combine. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream, through the feed tube, just until the dough holds together. Do not process for more than 30 seconds.

Turn dough out onto a work surface. Divide in two. Place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap. Flatten, and form two discs. Wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour before using. Makes enough for one 9-inch double crust pie.

If making single crust pie bake at 450 for 10 to 12 minutes.
