I got this recipe from a local friend who owned and ran her own Bakery. She made this recipe everyday in huge patches to make many pies a day. She reduced it down to one pie crust recipe just for me and you.
1 pie crust.
1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2-4 TBsp cold water
Add flour and salt to a large food processor with a cutting blade. Cut butter into chunks with a butter knife. Turn your food processor on in mix mode. Add the butter a few chunks at time. Once the mixture looks like oily flour. Begin to add water one Tablespoon at a time. Wait a minute between each Tablespoon. Stop when mixture comes together and forms a ball. Stop Food Processor and remove ball to a flat floured surface. Knead slightly. You are ready to roll out your pie crust.
