1. Spray or butter a 9” pie plate. Cut out a piece of parchment and line the pie plate.
2. You can make this one of two ways (both ways are easy, one is noisy). If you have a food processor (like this), add the flour, sugar, and butter and pulse around 20 times. Alternatively you could blend it for 10 seconds in the processor. Stop, then add the lemon zest and juice. Pulse a few more times until it’s all mixed together. It should look a bit wet at this point.
3. If you don’t have a food processor or don’t want to wash one, you can use a pastry cutter like this. I often use this instead if I bake during nap time because it’s the quiet option and we live in a small house. It’s more of an arm workout but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In this case, put the flour, sugar, and butter into a bowl and use the pastry cutter to mix everything together. The butter should be in teeny pieces by the time you’re done and the dough should look slightly wet. Add the lemon zest and juice and use the pastry cutter briefly to mix them in so it’s uniform.
4. In either case, dump out the dough (it will just look like crumbly bits at this point) into your prepared pie plate. Press very firmly into the parchment-lined dish. Really press it down. This will help it hold together and will cut nicely for you after it’s baked.
