How to Make Grandma Florida's No Fail Pie Crust

Whisk together the 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 the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer to your pie plate.
Repeat with the second disc of dough for a double-crust pie, or use one disc for a single-crust pie.
Bake according to your pie recipe instructions. Enjoy!
