Zubereitung von Basic Pie Crust 101
- Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (this is crucial for flakiness!).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Let cool completely before filling.
