This dough makes a 9 or 10 inch double crust pie, and is one that I acquired from a source forgotten; it is written for using a food processor, so make adjustments if needed. —lapadia

Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
-
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
8-10 tablespoons ice water
Directions
-
Put the butter, flour and salt in the food processor, pulse lightly until the mixture resembles wet looking fine particles (some recipes say pea sized).
-
Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing a couple times after each tablespoon.
-
Keep adding water until the dough just starts to gather into larger clumps.
-
Split the dough in half and place into 2 re-sealable plastic bags, pat each into a disk.
-
Let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes…at least.
-
Remove 1 of the disks to a flour work surface.
Roll out to a 10 or 11 inch round. Fit the dough into a 9 or 10 inch pie pan.
-
Add filling to the bottom crust.
Roll out and cover with the 2nd disk of dough, seal and crimp.
-
Brush top crust with a milk & cream mixture and make slits throughout to let the steam escape.
