Pate Brisee

I love pies, and this is the simplest, easiest recipe for pie dough, now you to try as many fillings as you please. My favorite of all times is the apple pie.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Directions
1. place the flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor, and process for a few seconds to combine. Add the nutter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add the ice water in a slow, steady stream, through the feed tube, just until dough holds together. do not process for more than 30 seconds.

2. Turn the dough out onto a work surface, divide in two. Place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap and form two discs. Wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour before using.
