Method
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter into the flour mixture.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough holds together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather it into a ball, then flatten it into a disk.
- Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
- Transfer the rolled dough into the pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
- Optionally, line it with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-30 minutes until lightly golden.
Notes
Great for both sweet and savory pies. Can be frozen for convenience.
