Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the chilled butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disc.
- Wrap the disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit your pie dish.
- Carefully transfer the rolled dough to your pie dish and gently press it into the corners.
- If necessary, prick the bottom with a fork and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
Notes
For an extra flaky crust, keep your ingredients and tools cold. Experiment with different flours for unique flavors.
