WATERMELON +ALOE JUICE

1 1/2 CUPS UNSALTED BUTTER (12 oz)

2 1/3 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR

2 1/4 tsp KOSHER SALT

1 CUP ICE WATER (3 T at a time) use only what you need. 

Cut up your butter into little 1/2 inch cubes and place in a bowl and into the freezer for 20 minutes. 

At the same time you put your butter in the freezer, put your water in there too. This gets everything really cold. We're working with butter and the colder your ingredients the better.

Meanwhile prep the flour and salt and pull out your food processor. 

In your food processor mix together the flour and salt.

Pull out butter and water from the freezer and slowly add the butter to your food processor, pulse butter into flour mixture slowly.

Flour and butter should begin to look like sand, pieces of flour and butter start to mesh together. 

DO NOT fully pulse to perfection. Pulse until flour no longer looks like flour, it will look like pieces of butter. 

Essentially the flour is encapsulating the butter. This creates a delicious flaky crust everyone will go nuts over. 

At this point you will now add 3T of water and pulse just to bring the pie dough to the finished consistency. Still looking somewhat like "pieces of sand," but pieces of flour and butter. 

Now add water until it just comes together, then stop. DO NOT add to much water. Do NOT over mix together. Dough should still look like pieces. The dough should look like pieces and you will end up pushing the dough together carefully with your hands.

Get plastic wrap and flour to spread over the area where you will be creating a circle brick. Use flour to create a circle brick then place circle brick dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes in the fridge dough is ready and you can now roll out your dough with a rolling pin. Barely touch the dough so it does not melt. Use plastic wrap, flour, and a rolling pin. (See Video for Smaller Individual Pies.)

Once you have rolled out your dough you can carefully place the dough in a pie dish. Then gently mold the dough to the dish, then pinch the top to create a good old fashioned pinched crust look.

Fill pie crust with your choice of filling savory or sweet. 

Brush the crust with a beaten egg.

BAKE at 350 degrees until golden brown.
