The very first thing I learned how to cook! This freezes beautifully; no well-equipped home is without a ball of pie dough in the freezer! Guaranteed to roll!

Combine flour and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer.Cut butter into tablespoon pieces; add it to the flour and butter. Use the paddle beater to cut the butter and flour together.Alternatively, this can be done by hand with a pastry blender.

With the mixer on low speed , or while stirring the mixture with a fork, pour in the cold water.When the dough starts to clump, and before it turns into a ball, stop stirring.

Lightly knead dough in the bowl until it forms a ball.Divide dough into two parts.Flatten each part into a disk, and chill for about 30 minutes before rolling.
