Step 1: In Advance, Chill Your Butter<\/strong><\/p>\n

When making pie crust, you must make sure all your wet ingredients are very cold. This is important because you don\u2019t want your butter to melt at all during the crust-making process.<\/p>\n

To help ensure this, you should also chill your butter. You can it into \u00bd inch cubes and place it into the freezer, at least 1 hour before starting your crust.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Combine Your Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

After your butter is sufficiently chilled, you can take it out of the freezer and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 \u00bd cups of flour as well.<\/p>\n

\nAdd the salt and sugar.<\/p>\n

\nUsing a pastry cutter, mix the butter and flour. You can also do this process in a food processor, using the pulse mode if you prefer.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCombine until it resembles coarse meal.<\/p>\n

Now you can start adding the water, a tablespoon at each time, until dough starts to stick together. Keep using your pastry cutter (or food processor on pulse mode) until it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n

\nOnce the dough starts to stick together, form it into two round mounds.<\/p>\n

\nFinally, wrap your dough in foil or plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least one hour before using it.
