Carla's Crust

Ingredients:
sugars, granulated
salt, table
water, bottled, generic
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
butter, without salt

Directions:
Chill bowl and paddle attachment of standing electric mixer until cold.
In small bowl, dissolve sugar and salt in water; chill until cold.
In chilled mixer bowl, combine flour and butter and toss with hands until butter pieces are well coated.
Mix with paddle on low speed until butter forms pea-size pieces; add water mixture all at once, increase speed to medium and beat just until dough comes together.
Flatten dough into two 1-inch-thick rectangles (for cobbler crusts) or two 1-inch-thick disks (for pies).
Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
(You can also freeze dough for up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator or at room temperature.)
