Steps:

• In a food processor, combine flour and salt and pulse for a few seconds. Next add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and the cream cheese and process for 15 seconds. Then, add the remaining 4 1/2 tablespoons butter and process for 6 seconds. Finally, add 1 tablespoon ice water and pulse 4 times. Empty the contents of the processor into a plastic bag and knead, so your warm hands don't touch the dough. Form a flat round. Keep the dough in the bag and chill for 45 minutes before rolling out. Place in a pie dish, add your favorite filling and cook accordingly.

Steps:

• Lay out three-quarters of the butter pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and freeze until hard, at least 30 minutes. Refrigerate remaining butter.
• Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Add refrigerated butter, and pulse to combine, about 10 times. Add frozen butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some blueberry-size clumps.
• Add ice water, and immediately pulse until water is just incorporated, about 10 times. Squeeze a small amount of dough to make sure it holds together. Pulse a few more times if needed.
• Lay out 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Empty half the dough onto each piece. Bring edges of wrap together to gather dough. Press into disks.
• Roll out disks, still wrapped in plastic, to 1/2-inch-thick rounds (8 inches in diameter). Refrigerate at least 45 minutes and up to 2 days. Dough can be frozen up to 1 month.
