Pate Brisee (pronounced paht bree-ZAY) is a standard all-butter pastry dough used for making pies and tarts.
Yields: 1 pastry
1. Start by cutting the sticks of butter into 1/2-inch cubes and placing in the freezer for at least 15 minutes (preferably longer) so that they become thoroughly chilled.
2. In a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar, pulse to mix. Add butter and pulse 6 to 8 times, until mixture resembles coarse meal, with pea size pieces of butter. Add water 1 Tbsp at a time, pulsing until mixture just begins to clump together. If you pinch some of the crumbly dough and it holds together, it's ready, if not, add a little more water and pulse again.
Dough is ready to shape into discs.
3. Remove dough from machine and place on a clean surface. Carefully shape into discs. Do not over- knead the dough! You should still be able to see little bits of butter in the dough. These bits of butter are what allow the resulting crust to be flaky. Sprinkle the disc with a little flour on all sides. Wrap the disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
4. Remove the crust disc from the refrigerator. Let sit at room temperature for 5 - 10 minutes. Sprinkle some flour on top of the disc. Roll out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle; about 1/8 of an inch thick. As you roll out the dough, use a metal spatula to check if the dough is sticking to the surface . Add a few sprinkles of flour if necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Gently fold in half. Place on a 9-inch pie plate, lining up the fold with the center of the pan. Gently unfold and press down to line the pie dish with the dough.

This recipe makes 1 pate brisee crust, enough for one tart. If you are making a pie with a bottom and top crust, double this recipe and form two discs of dough instead of one.
