3-4 tablespoons of cold water

Instructions:

1. Add the flour and salt to the food processor.
2. Cut the butter into small pieces and add them to the food processor.
3. Start the food processor and mix the ingredients until they resemble coarse crumbs.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time until the ingredients come together in a ball.
5. Remove the dough from the food processor and place it on a lightly floured countertop.
6. Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll out the dough so it’s much larger than the diameter of the 8-inch pan.
7. Press the dough into the pan and leave the overhang untouched.
8. Set aside.
