Homemade Pie Crust

Servings 2 crusts

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cold butter cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1-2 tbsp cold water

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour sugar and salt together in a large bowl. It's best to use a food processor for this.
  • Add in the cold butter to the mixture and pulse it together until smooth. Make sure all the butter is incorporated into the flour. Mixture will be very flaky.
  • Pour flour mixture into mixing bowl and place in the freezer for 15 minutes to completely chill the butter.
  • Remove mixture from freezer and add in the buttermilk. Use a spoon to mix together and then your hands.
  • If your mixture is too dry, you can add in a tablespoon or two of water.
  • On a lightly floured surface, divide the pie crust dough into two and then flatten each into a disk with a rolling pin.
  • Wrap each disk with plastic wrap and place in fridge until ready to use.
  • Or place wrapped pie dough into freezer bags in the freezer for up to a year until ready to use.
