All-Butter Pie Dough
This classic pie dough is easy to make and uses only five ingredients. The all-butter crust is flakey, buttery, and delicious. This recipe makes two crusts and bakes up nicely.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 6-8 tablespoon ice water
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar until well incorporated.
- Press the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two forks until small pieces of floured butter remain.
- Add the water into the pie dough a few tablespoons at a time. Using your hands or a spatula, carefully incorporate the water into the dough. Continue adding the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough keeps shape when pressed together.
- Pour the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. It is okay if it's still a little rough; you do not want to overwork it. With a bench scraper, divide the dough into two pieces. Form each dough ball into a flattened disk.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before using. For best results, refrigerate the dough overnight.
