Mom's Pie Crust

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

Directions:
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.
