Butter Flaky Pie Crust

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 4 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup butter, diced and then chilled

¼ cup ice cold water, or as needed

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Use a pasty blender to cut in chilled, diced butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, mixing with a spatula or your hands until the dough comes together; you may need less than 1/4 cup water.

Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Place chilled dough on a generously floured surface and roll out to an 11-inch circle, adding more flour to your rolling pin as needed.

Carefully roll dough onto the rolling pin, then unroll over a 9-inch pie dish. Press dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim any excess dough and flute the edges.

Blind-bake or fill and bake as directed in your pie recipe.

Enjoy!
