Ingredients
- 1 Salt
- 1 All-purpose flour
- 1 Ice water
- 1 Unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour with ½ teaspoon of salt and pulse until combined.
- Cut 8 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- While pulsing, slowly stream in 4-6 tablespoons of ice water until the dough just comes together; be careful not to overwork it!
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.
- Place the chilled dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to fit your desired pan size. Gently line with dough and trim any excess from the edges with kitchen scissors or a knife.
- Prick the bottom of the dough several times with a fork. Bake in preheated oven according to recipe instructions.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, use very cold butter and ice water when preparing your dough.
- Always work quickly when assembling the pie crust- avoid overworking it as this can result in a tough crust.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour before rolling out to ensure a flaky texture.
- Always blind-bake (bake without any filling) your pie crust for 10-15 minutes before adding your desired fillings to prevent a soggy bottom.
