Single Pie Crust recipe: MarthaStewart.com
Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces
- 2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, using a pastry blender, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter, and cut in with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal, with just a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons ice water, and continue to work dough with pastry blender until crumbly but holds together when squeezed with fingers (if needed, add up to 2 tablespoons more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Do not overwork.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; form into a ¾-inch-thick disk. Wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
