How to Make Easiest Pie Crust Ever

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form it into a disc.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. (For a 9-inch pie plate, roll to about 1/8 inch thickness).
  7. Carefully transfer the dough to your pie plate.
  8. Trim and crimp the edges.
  9. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
