Preparation
- Step 1
Put the flour, butter and sugar into the container of a food processor. Start blending.
- Step 2
Gradually add enough water so that the dough can be gathered into a fairly cohesive ball.
- Step 3
If a food processor is not used, place the flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and cut it in with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Add the water, stirring quickly with a fork.
- Step 4
Gather the dough into a ball and flatten it into a round disk one-inch thick. Wrap the dough in wax paper and chill for an hour or less.

Perfect crust. Used it with a Shoofly Pie, and it added a lovely texture and subtle buttery taste.
Took me 4 tablespoons of water to get it cohesive
I have always been intimidated with making my own pie crust. This turned out perfectly and was very easy. great buttery taste!
