Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, add the flour and salt and stir to combine. Add the cubes of butter and use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix.
- Gather the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- When you are ready to use the dough, remove from the refrigerator and let sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, turning it often to make sure it is not sticking and adding more flour as needed.
- Transfer the dough to a pie plate, trim the edges, and crimp as desired.
- The crust is now ready to be filled and baked according to your recipe instructions.
