Pie Crust

Pie Ingredients:
       2 cup  flour
       1 tsp  salt (skip if using salted butter)
       2 tsp  sugar, white (for sweet pies)
       2 ---  sticks unsalted butter, cubed
     1/2 cup  sour cream or cold water


Directions:
   1) Cut butter into cubes.
   2) Whisk found, salt, and sugar.
   3) Work butter into flour with either hands or pastry cutter until flour
      has the appearance of course meal.
   4) Slowly add sour cream/cold water a few teaspoons at a time, working it
      into the dough with a fork.
   5) Form dough into two ball/disks, wrap tightly with plastic, and
      refrigerator for at least 1 hour or upto 1 day.
   6) Remove from refrigerator about 5 - 10 minutes before use.
   7) Roll out on a lightly floured surface.
   
Notes:
    * Makes two 12 to 14 inch single crusts or one double crust.
    * Do not use sour cream if you need to pre-bake the pie crust. The
      combination of sour cream and butter will cause the sides of the crust
      to collapse.
      crust or using a pie protector will keep the crust from browning too
      much.
