Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse for several seconds until the butter pieces are the size of peas. Add the water. Pulse for several seconds more until the dough just begins to hold together, adding more water if necessary. Remove the dough and shape into a disc.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough. Use to line a 23-cm (9-inch) pie plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
