Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Use a pasty blender to cut in chilled, diced butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. 3 Add 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, mixing with a spatula or your hands until the dough comes together; you may need less than 1/4 cup water.
  4. 4 Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. 5 Place chilled dough on a generously floured surface and roll out to an 11-inch circle, adding more flour to your rolling pin as needed.
  6. 6 Carefully roll dough onto the rolling pin, then unroll over a 9-inch pie dish. Press dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim any excess dough and flute the edges.
  7. 7 Blind-bake or fill and bake as directed in your pie recipe.
  8. 8 Enjoy!
