How to Make Foolproof Pie Crust
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
- Blind bake the crust for 15 minutes at 375°F (190°C) with pie weights or dried beans.
- Remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Fill with your favorite pie filling and bake according to the filling's instructions.
