Method
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar (if using).
- Add cold, cubed butter and mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together without being sticky.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Press the dough directly into a pie dish, ensuring even coverage across the bottom and sides.
Notes
Store the prepared dough in the fridge for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, fill and bake as usual. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
