Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
• 4-5 tablespoons ice water

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. Add the cold cubes of butter to the flour mixture.
3. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, quickly work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Gather the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6. Preheat your oven to the desired temperature for your pie filling.
7. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Make sure to turn the dough occasionally to prevent sticking.
9. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang.
10. Press the overhang against the rim of the pie dish to create a fluted edge or use a fork to create a decorative pattern.
11. Fill the pie crust with your desired filling and follow the baking instructions for your specific pie recipe.
12. Once the pie is baked and cooled, slice and enjoy!
