Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1. cup of unsalted butter (cut into 1/2 inch cubes) keep chilled

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

6 to 8 tbsp ice water

Directions

Combine flour, salt and sugar

Add butter cubes and mash into flour mixture with spoon until crumbly

Add water and knead dough together with hands until you can form a ball

(If the mixture doesn't stay together, add more water)

cut mixture in half and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours (can be stored for up to two days)

Remove from refrigerator

Let stand at room temp for 5 to 10 min so that it will soften enough to roll, if it's too hard microwave it for 2 mins.

Roll out with rollinig pin on a lightly floured surface to a 12 inch circle, about 1/8 of an inch thick, make sure that it's not sticking to the surface, if it is sprinkle more flour on surface.

Carefully place in a 9 inch pie pan (What works best for me is to do place the pie pan on top of the rolled dough and turn it over)

Mold to pan, cut away and create crust

Add pie filing

Roll out 2nd ball of dough

Roll as before

Gently place on top of filling in pie pan

Pinch top and bottom of dough rounds together

If you're making a pie that does not have a top, this recipe will yield two pies.

This sounds like a lovely pie crust recipe and you've got my 5 forks! I agree with Pieplate with the reduced sodium and increased sugar but whatever works for whoever is preparing it is my motto ;) Thanks for a great recipe and thanks to Pieplate for the input.
