2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into ¼-inch slices
6–8 tablespoons cold water
Pulse sliced butter and flour in a food processor until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs or fine granules.
Pour the mixture into a bowl.
Add 4 tablespoons of cold water and gently mix with a spatula.
Add 2 more tablespoons of water and press the dough together.
If needed, add any remaining water until the dough forms a ball.
Place the dough on a clean counter and form it into a ball.
Wrap it in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before rolling out.
Tip: You’ll have extra pie crust leftover if using for the chicken pot pie—perfect for tarts or mini pies!
