Paula Deen has done it again with this amazing pie crust recipe. It comes out absolutely perfect everytime. Best of all, it only takes a few ingredients to make and they can be frozen for later use. You could even make them in bulk. I have used this recipe for chicken pot pie, strawberry pie and even a chocolate pie, and it taste delicious with all of them.
Sift the sgar, flour and salt together into a bowl. Once all is sifted, breakup 2 tablespoons of chilled butter into the bowl and make the mixture really crmbley. Do this process slowly. You don’t wnt your butter to melt too much. Cut the butter up before adding it in. Use your hands to mix the butter in until it reaches a corn mill texture. Once mixed, place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Begin adding your ice water into the bowl. You will use anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of ice water and mix it in until it can for a ball. Once mixed in, spread out some wax or parchent paper onto the counter, then wrap up the dough. Place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes more.
Put some flour down on a cutting board and place the dough down on the board. Coat your rolling pin in flour and begin rolling out your pie crust. Make sure the dough isn’t sticking, if it is, add moe flour to the board and continue rolling. Roll in a spiral technique to create the circular shape for the crust. Roll the dough a little bit further than a 10 inch circumference.
