DEAR SOS: Help! I’ve lost my favorite pie crust recipe. It was pulsed in the food processor. If you can find it I would be forever grateful.

DEAR LYNN: No need to go overboard on the gratitude. Here is a recipe we’ve run in the past from Janet McCracken. This is for a single-crust pie. Double the recipe if you want a top crust.

Combine the flour and salt in a food processor and add the butter, processing until the butter is the size of peas, about 15 seconds. Drizzle in the water, a tablespoon at a time, and process just until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour. Bring the dough to cool room temperature before rolling it out.
