A simple and foolproof recipe for a flaky and tender pie crust, perfect for any sweet or savory pie.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
- 0.33 cup ice water
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
Notes
This crust is best when chilled for a sufficient amount of time before baking.
