Gesine's Pie Crust

2 c. cold all-purpose flour
1 c. unsalted butter (cut into small pieces and chilled in the freezer for about 10 minutes)
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. ice-cold water
1 tsp. lemon juice

In the bowl of the food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse together flour, butter, sugar and salt until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.  In a small bowl whisk together water and lemon juice.  Slowly add to the flour mixture, pulsing until dough just comes together.  Squeeze  a small piece of dough between your thumb and index finger to make sure it holds its shape.  Follow pie recipe for dividing and refrigerating dough.
