The very first thing I learned how to cook! This freezes beautifully; no well-equipped home is without a ball of pie dough in the freezer! Guaranteed to roll!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter , chilled
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 0.33 cups ice water
Instructions
-
1
Combine flour and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer. Cut butter into tablespoon pieces; add it to the flour and butter. Use the paddle beater to cut the butter and flour together. Alternatively, this can be done by hand with a pastry blender.
-
2
With the mixer on low speed , or while stirring the mixture with a fork, pour in the cold water. When the dough starts to clump, and before it turns into a ball, stop stirring.

3
Lightly knead dough in the bowl until it forms a ball. Divide dough into two parts. Flatten each part into a disk, and chill for about 30 minutes before rolling.

Grandma's Very Easy Pie Crust
This pie crust is one of the simplest, tastiest ones you'll ever try.
Halupki (Stuffed Cabbage)
This stuffed cabbage recipe, known as halupki on the Ukrainian side of my family, is made with beef, pork, and rice encased in cabbage and drizzled with a thin, sweet tomato sauce. Leftovers freeze well — if you have any! My grandma Eugenia taught me how to make this. Every family has their own twist on this traditional dish. Enjoy with mashed potatoes just as we always do in my family!
Chef John's Manhattan Clam Chowder
Manhattan clam chowder is usually very watery, too tomato-y, and not nearly clammy enough so I reworked the recipe into something significantly more rich, satisfying, and delicious. My secrets? A ton of clams, not too much tomato, and a little bit of flour to thicken things up. Serve with oyster crackers and garnish with fresh chives, parsley, tarragon, or even dill, if desired.
