How to Make All Butter Pie Crust

  1. Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
  6. Carefully transfer the dough to your pie plate.
  7. Trim and crimp the edges.
  8. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
