Ingredients
- All purpose flour - 1 ¼ cups (the flour should be levelled and spooned)
- Cold unsalted butter - ½ cup (1 stick)
- Sugar - 1 tbsp
- Kosher salt - ½ tsp
- Ice water - 3 to 4 tbsp
Instructions
- Add 1 ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup cold unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of salt in the food processor.
- Turn it on and pulse all the ingredients. Everything should be broken and mixed with few clumps of butter remaining.
- Now add two tablespoons of water in the mixture.
- Then pulse the mixture until it holds together when you squeeze it.
- You should refrain from over processing which will toughen the dough.
- Get a plastic wrap and place it on a flat surface.
- Then take the mixture out and pour it on the wrap.
- Shape the dough in to a one inch thick disk.
- Remember that the plastic wrap will help you in giving the dough a nice disk shape.
- Store it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Get another piece of wax paper and place the chilled dough on it. Use your knuckles to soften the edges as you make indentations in the dough.
- Next, you need to roll out the dough with the help of a rolling pin into a 12-inch circle.
- Start rolling from the centre and use the wax paper to rotate the dough.
- Now you need to place the dough into the 9-inch pie plate.
- You should refrain from stretching the dough while you try to fit it into the plate.
- In the end you need to press the dough against forefinger and thumb.
- Press it with your index finger of the opposite hand. Do this around the perimeter of the pie.
- Then refrigerate it for almost half an hour.
