I use my Kitchenaid mixer and have worked out my recipe for two crusts, which my family adores: 2 c. all-purpose flour, 1 t. salt, 2/3 c. unsalted butter. I stir that on low speed until it's pretty small crumbs. Then I pour a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar into a cup and add very cold water. I pour 5 T. of that combination into the flour mixture and then turn on the Kitchenaid for exactly 9 seconds -- any more, and it gets too tough. I then roll out the crusts in my zipper bag which I got from KAF, and the crusts turn out predictably wonderful every time. Thanks for this article!
