Making the Crust

Pâte Brisée (This is just a fancy way to say Pie Dough)

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks, chilled and cut into small cubes
• ¼ cup ice water plus extra tablespoons as needed
• **Quick Note on ingredients - always use unsalted butter in baking recipes. Salted butter will affect the salt content of your recipe. Also pay attention to the egg size in the recipe. I also prefer to use unbleached flour when baking.
