How to Make Buttery No Fail Pie Pastry

In a food processor, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
Pulse 2-3 times to combine the dry ingredients.
Add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (about 1/2 inch cubes).
Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 6-8 tablespoons of ice water through the feed tube.
Process until the dough just begins to form a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Do not over-process!
Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes (or freeze for up to 2 months).
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and use to create your dream pie!
