Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Rolling pin
  • 9 inch pie dish
  • Parchment paper
  • Pie weights or dried beans

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
  7. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a 9-inch pie dish and gently press it into the dish.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line the crust with parchment paper.
  9. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 15 minutes.

Notes

Chill the dough before rolling for a better texture.
