Basic Food Processor Pie Crust

Directions

1. 1
   Insert metal blade into your food processor.
2. 2
   Add flour, butter and salt and process until mixture is like coarse meal; it takes about 8 to 10 seconds.
3. 3
   Add ice water and pulse, not process, until dough begins to clump together; don't let it form a ball.
4. 4
   Remove dough from processor and place in a freezer-size plastic storage zippie bag.
5. 5
   Work through the bag to press dough together into a ball; then press into a flat disc.
6. 6
   Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.
7. 7
   When you need it, roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
8. 8
   Makes enough dough for a single 9 or 10-inch pie shell.

   Note that this is the recipe provided by Cuisinart; I am not quite as fussy and it always works for me; the key is the ice-cold butter, the ice-cold water, and not letting it process too long.
