Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Cut in the Butter:
- Add the diced, chilled butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Ice Water:
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together but isn’t sticky. Avoid overmixing.
Chill the Dough:
- Divide the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll Out the Dough:
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit your pie dish. Carefully transfer it to the dish, trimming any excess.
Use as Needed:
- Add your desired filling and bake as directed. For blind-baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), line the crust with parchment paper, fill with pie weights, and bake for 10 minutes.
Notes
- Make Ahead:The dough can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
- Customizing the Flavor:For a subtle twist, add a teaspoon of sugar for a slightly sweet crust, or a pinch of cinnamon for a warm flavor.
- Serving Suggestions:This flaky crust pairs perfectly with any pie filling—fruit, custard, or savory quiches. Serve it warm with ice cream or whipped cream for sweet pies.
- Storage Tips:Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. For longer storage, freeze and thaw in the fridge overnight before rolling out.
