    Add 6 tablespoons ice water.

  3. 3

    Shape into a ball by first folding dough toward middle of bowl with a cake spatula. (Don't handle dough any more than necessary as your hands will heat dough making it hard to work with.)

  4. 4

    Place half dough ball onto floured cutting board, countertop, or mat and roll into a circle larger than top rim of pie pan. Repeat with other half.

  5. 5

    This recipe makes one double crust pie or two single crust pies. For filled pies such as lemon meringue, coconut cream, or chocolate cream, bake empty crust at 425°F for 15 -18 minutes before filling.
