Instructions
To make the crust
Place the flour, butter, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse the mixture together until it resembles pea-size crumbles.
Continue pulsing the food processor as you slowly drizzle in the ice water. The mixture should just barely start to come together.
Turn the crumbs out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead the crust together just a few times until a nice ball comes together. Cut the dough in half, then flatten each half into a 1-inch thick disk.
Wrap the pie crusts in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours before using. *You can also place the pie crusts in the freezer at this point, pie crusts freeze perfectly! Just thaw in the fridge before using.
After the crusts have chilled for 2 hours, roll the pie crusts out on a lightly floured surface, making two 9 inch circles.
*Alternatively you can use just one of the pie crusts and freeze the other one if making something such as a quiche.
