Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
  4. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit your pie dish.
  6. Transfer the rolled dough to the pie dish, trim the edges, and bake as needed.

Notes

This pie crust is versatile and can be used for both sweet and savory pies. For a flakier crust, refrigerate the dough longer before rolling.
