INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Wet/Fat Ingredients

    • 🧈 1/2 cup butter, diced and then chilled
    • 💧 1/4 cup ice cold water, or as needed

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut in chilled, diced butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

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

Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

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

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

Blind-bake or fill and bake as directed in your pie recipe.

8

Enjoy!

💡 Chill the butter and water well before starting. This helps achieve flakier dough.Refrigerating the dough allows it to rest and helps prevent shrinking during baking.If the dough cracks while rolling, patch it with small pieces of excess dough and smooth the edges with your fingers.
