My go-to formula will give you a buttery no-fail crust. For the flakiest results, make sure all the ingredients are cold.

Time 1h

Yield Two 9-inch crusts

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 cup (8 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Dissolve the sugar and salt in 1/3 cup water and chill until cold.
  • Pulse the flour and butter in a stand mixer until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some pea-size pieces. Add the water all at once and mix until the dough almost forms a ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten into two disks.
  • Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days. You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before rolling.
