Pie Crust Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar Optional, for sweet pies.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed Cold butter creates a tender texture.
  • 2-4 tablespoons ice water Add slowly until dough holds together.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar (if using).
  2. Add cold, cubed butter and mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together without being sticky.
  4. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  5. 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.
