Basic Pie Dough

I do not bake, I always seem to mess up some how. But this pie crust is the most easiest thing ever ! Even I cant mess it up.

Makes 1 double-crusted 9-10 inch pie

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon coarse salt

1 cup (2 sticks) cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces

1/2 cup cold milk or water

1. In a large bowl or in the food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter and cut in or pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pour in the milk. Combine just until the dough holds together in a ball.

2. Turn the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and lift the sides toward the middle to press them together. Cut dough in half . Form each piece into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. If the dough has been refrigerated in advance, remove 15 minutes before using. the dough can be made and refrigerated for up to 3 days in advance or frozen for up to 6 weeks.

* I like to use the food processor. I also made chicken pot pie using this pie crust and it was great!
