The Ultimate Savory Pie Crust

1. 1

   In a food processor, pulse the flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

2. 2

   Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with some pea-size pieces of butter still visible.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture and pulse until the dough just starts to come together; you should still see small pieces of butter.

4. 4

   Scrape the dough out onto a work surface, gather up any crumbs and pat the dough into an 8-inch square.

5. 5

   Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until well-chilled, about 1 hour or for up to 2 days.
