3 to 5 plus teaspoons cold water, add to flour mixture, blending with a fork, using a few strokes as possible until dough holds just together.

Remove from bowl and knead only 3 to 4 times. Just until a ball is formed. On board sprinkle with flour and about 1/4 cup sugar (this sugar serves 2 purposes.) Helps keep dough from sticking to board, makes clean up easier, add extra flavor to crust.

Note: Most important handle dough as little as possible. The more pie dough is handled the tougher it gets.
