Cream Cheese Pie Dough

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon salt 

2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces 

6 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small pieces 

3 to 4 tablespoons ice water 

Preparation

Combine flour and salt in a food processor, and pulse to blend. Add butter and cream cheese, pulsing until pea-size clumps form.

With machine running, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until mixture comes together when pressed in your hand. Divide dough into 2 pieces, and shape each into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes.
