All Butter Pie Crust Pastry


Flaky, forgiveable and stays crispy under the soggiest circumstances! and did i mention delicious?!

Steps


Cut butter into 1 / 2-inch cubes and freeze for 10 minutes.
You can mix with your hands or with a hand-held pastry blender , but i prefer a food processor for ease.
Process flour , salt and sugar together in food processor until combined , about 3 seconds.
Add butter and pulse until butter is size of large peas , about ten one-second pulses.
Using fork , mix sour cream and 1 / 3 cup ice water in small bowl until combined.
Add half of sour cream mixture to flour mixture.
Pulse for three 1-second pulses.
Repeat with remaining sour cream mixture.
Pinch dough with fingers.
If dough is floury , dry and does not hold together , add 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water , and process until dough forms large clumps and no dry flour remains , three to five 1-second pulses.
Divide dough into two balls and flatten each into 4-inch disk.
Wrap each disk in plastic and refrigerate until firm but not too hard , 1 to 2 hours , before rolling.
