This pie shell recipe is on the sweeter side making it ideal for fruit pies

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup cold butter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form. Form the crumbs into a dough (you may need to add a little cold water if it is too crumbly).
Press the dough into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork.
Place the pie crust in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let the crust cool completely before using.

Love this crust but I added approximately 2 Tbs more butter because I couldn't get it to pie crust consistency. Is there something missing in the recipe like water or milk?
