• 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 6 tablespoons cold butter , cut into small pieces
• 0.25 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 5 teaspoons cold water

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle in butter; rub butter into flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Stir in cheese.

3. 3

   Sprinkle cold water over flour mixture, a teaspoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Add just enough water to allow dough to form a ball and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl.

4. 4

   Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

5. 5

   Roll out dough and place in a 9-inch pie or quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of pastry.

6. 6

   Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes before filling with quiche filling of your choice.
