Servings: 10 servings (for a single-crust pie)
Calories: 125kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used 2 tablespoons regular + 2 tablespoons dark cocoa)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (half a stick), cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
Instructions
- Place the flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the oil, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add the butter slices, tossing to coat.
- Stir in the water, a tablespoon at a time, just until the dough gathers itself into a ball.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Fold it into thirds, like a letter. Roll out again to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat two more times. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum.
- Dust the work surface with flour, and roll the dough out to an inch or two larger than your pie plate.
- Roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer to the dish.
- Trim off any excess, then roll and crimp the edge.
