- 2 cups all-purpose flour (A gluten-free blend can also work well.)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (Can be omitted for savory pies.)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (Regular table salt can be used if needed.)
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter (Cut into small cubes; consider vegan butter for dairy-free.)
- 6 tablespoons ice cold water (Add more as needed for desired consistency.)
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Stir gently until well combined.
- Add the cold unsalted butter cubes into the flour mixture. Use your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture resembles a shaggy texture.
- Gradually pour in the ice cold water, stirring gently until the dough begins to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Form it into a disc shape and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and firm up.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface.
