All-Purpose Pie Dough

THREE-IN-ONE ALL-BUTTER PIE DOUGH

Makes enough for one 9-inch pie This recipe was developed in a metal pie plate, but it will work in a glass pie plate and even a disposable pie plate. Do not use this dough in a deep-dish pie plate or a plate without a lip around the edge. When fully baking this dough, we prefer to use granulated sugar in place of pie weights, but raw rice, dried beans, or ceramic pie weights will also work. The sugar can be stored and reused for baking future pie doughs. Chilling the dough for 2 hours is important; even if you plan on freezing this pie dough for later use, do not skip this step.

1½ cups (7½ ounces) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar, plus about 5 cups to use as pie
