Serving Size:

• 1 flaky pie crust

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup All-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 9 to 10 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed

• 1/3 cup iced cold water

Instructions

Step 1

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Next, add the butter, using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the mixture until it’s mostly covered with the flour. You’re not fully incorporated, so be careful to not over mix!

Step 2

• Measure 1/3 cup of cold water, then stir in two ice cubes. Once the ice has completely melted, measure 1/3 cup of the water. Drizzle about 1 tbsp of the water at a time into the mixture, and mix by hand. When the dough starts to form clumps, stop adding the water. I usually use the whole 1/3 cup of the water.

Step 3

• Transfer the dough to a floured surface, and roll the dough into itself until the flour is combined with the fat. The dough will feel soft, if overmixed the dough, dip your fingers in ice water and knead the dough with your hands.

Step 4

• Form the dough into a ball and place wrap in plastic wrap. Place the dough into the fridge for at least 1 hour before using, or up to 5 days in the refrigerator. (The dough should be coled when using as it makes it easier to work with).
