Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 Stick cold unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sugar (for sweet pies)
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup ice cold water
Directions
1
Sift one cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. If you’re making a quiche, for example, leave the sugar out.
2
Cut 1 stick of unsalted butter into eight equal parts and add it to the flour.
3
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter, two knifes or even a stand mixer. Do not over work the dough. It should like like corn meal when finished.

Slowly add in 1/4 cup of ice cold water, bringing the mixture into a dough ball. Once again, do not over work it.
5
Wrap the dough ball in plastic and place in the refrigerator for about an hour before using.
