Ingredients
- 5 ¼ ounces all-purpose flour spooned and levelled
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3.5 ounces butter cold, cubed, plus extra to butter your pie dish, unsalted
- 4-6 tablespoons water ice
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish with butter. Set aside.
- Sift flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and rub butter into flour with your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Make a well in the centre. Add 4 tablespoons of ice cold water and mix with a blunt knife in a cutting action until the mixture comes together to form small beads. (You can also use a pastry cutter.) Use a little extra water if you need it.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper onto a clean work surface. Gently gather the pastry together into a ball and transfer onto parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper over the top of the pastry.
- Roll pastry out between the 2 sheets of parchment paper unit large enough to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish (about 12 inches in diameter).
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Gently place hands underneath the pastry and carefully roll the pastry into pie dish, parchment paper side up. Remove paper.
- Trim the edges leaving about 1 inch of overhang to pinch or flute the edges. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
