Method
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined.
- Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the cold water over the mixture a tablespoon at a time. Stir gently with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gather it into a ball, and gently flatten it into a disk.
- Wrap the disk of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into a circle about 1/8 inch thick.
- Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to your pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides.
- Pre-bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or fill it with your desired filling.
Notes
This crust can be used for both sweet and savory pies, and is versatile enough for many recipes.
