Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
    Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut in chilled, diced butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    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.
    Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
    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.
    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.
    Blind-bake or fill and bake as directed in your pie recipe.
    Enjoy!.
