This is from Martha Stewart. It is a great pie crust. Pate Sucree Extra Makes 2 eight- to ten-inch tarts or single-crust pies 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar Pinch of salt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1/4 cup ice water 3 large egg yolks 1. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add butter, and process just until the mixture resembles a coarse meal, about 10 seconds. 2. With machine running add 1/4 cup ice water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube. Drizzle in egg yolks, and process just until the dough holds together without being wet or sticky, about 30 seconds. Test dough by squeezing a small amount together. If it is crumbly, add a bit more ice water. 3. Divide dough in half. Pat into discs, and wrap in plastic. Chill for at least 1 hour.
