I love a flaky butter crust. No shortening.

My tweaks to the recipe are ratio and method. I simplified the ingredient list and used a food processor because I'm lazy.

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) cold butter
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup ice-cold water
2 crusts

Directions

Cut the butter, flour, and salt with a pastry cutter until well-incorporated. (Or put the butter, flour, and salt into a food processor and process just until combined.)

Slowly drizzle in the water. Right when the dough comes together, form it into a ball.

Turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces, and shape each into a flat disk.

Place in a food storage container and refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling out.
