How to Make Sweet Butter Pie Dough

  1. Whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup granulated sugar in a large chilled bowl.
  2. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
  3. Add ½ cup ice water all at once and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
  5. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pie plate and fill with your favorite pie filling. Bake according to your filling's instructions (approximately 40-50 minutes).
