Pulse flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Cut butter into small pieces and add to good processor. Pulse just until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces remaining, about 10 seconds.
2

Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water evenly over mixture, and pulse until the dough just begins to hold together. Pinch off a piece of dough with your finger, it should just hold together.when squeeze without being wet, sticky or crumbly. Add up to 1/4 cup more water, by the table spoon, if is necessary

4

Turn the dough onto plastic wrap. Use your hands to quickly gather wrap to shape the dough into balls ; flatten slightly, unwrap, rewrap loosely, leaving half an inch of air space around the dough, roll to 1/2 inch thick filling space. Refrigerate until dough is firm, 1 hour or up to 1 day.
5

Rolling out the dough : if is necessary, let the dough sit at room temperature 10 mins to soften. On a slightly floured surface, roll dough working from center out to edges. Once the dough is rolled out to its proper dimension, roll it back up over the pin.carefully unroll to drape the dough over the pie plate, and gently press to fit it into dish

I used to be a runner. One day middle of the run, I had my feet numb up to my knee. It was sciatica from a car accident years ago. Then because having problems with my Achilles, I started using a cane. Now I changed my diet completely... no more sugar or process foods. My recent recipes are vegetarian, I do not eat meat anymore! Also no sugar, flour and very low carbohydrate meals .This is my journey now. Good luck on yours! 😄✌️
