1 1/2 c Flour
1/2 c Ground pecans
2 tb Sugar
1 ts Salt
3/4 c Cold butter
8 tb Ice water; up to 9
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, pecans, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add
the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water
and let sit for 1 minute. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least
30 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a
lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out on the floured surface into a
circle about 12 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Gently fold the
circle of dough in half and then in half again so that you can lift it
without tearing it, and unfold into a 9 by 2-inch deep-dish pie pan.
