Grandma's Secret Pie Crust

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cold butter
• 1/4 cup cold water

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into the flour until small pieces of butter are visible throughout.
2. Add cold water to the flour mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time. Use a fork to mix the water into the dough until it starts to come together. Once the dough starts to come together, use your hands to form it into a ball.
3. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie plate and press it into the plate.
4. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
