Basic Food Processor Pie Crust

Basic Food Processor Pie Crust


1. Insert metal blade into your food processor.

2. Add flour, butter and salt and process until mixture is like coarse meal; it takes about 8 to 10 seconds.

3. Add ice water and pulse, not process, until dough begins to clump together; don't let it form a ball.

4. Remove dough from processor and place in a freezer-size plastic storage zippie bag.

5. Work through the bag to press dough together into a ball; then press into a flat disc.

6. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.

7. When you need it, roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

8. Makes enough dough for a single 9 or 10-inch pie shell.

9. Note that this is the recipe provided by Cuisinart; I am not quite as fussy and it always works for me; the key is the ice-cold butter, the ice-cold water, and not letting it process too long.
