this is what i do: a couple tablespoons and then i use a fork to mix the dry with the water until it’s just moist. i want it to all stick together (no crumbs in the bottom of the bowl), but i don’t want wet slimy dough either. so i try to get as much moistened with each addition of water as i can. i think i used about 9 tablespoons total on this pie adding two at a time until i got up to six and then adding one at a time more after that.
you should be able to pick up a nice ball of dough.
split it in half,
