Base draft — original amounts
The original draft batch is shown here for comparison; no public structured data is emitted. Base yield: 2 crusts.
3 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar (omit for savory pie)
1 cup coconut oil
7-8 Tbsp very cold water
Instructions
In a food processor, combine all ingredients and process until a smooth dough is formed. If making by hand, use a strong spoon or two butter knives to mix the crust.
Split dough in half to make 2 crusts. Roll each crust into a circle on a floured surface. If the dough is too crumbly, you can add a small amount of water to it so that it sticks together better.
Notes
If only using one crust, you can keep the other half of the dough in a ball and keep it in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
