Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add 1 1/4 cup of all purpose flour, salt and butter.
  • Combine the ingredients using a fork.
  • Pour 5 tbsp of water of the flour mixture, and mix.
  • When your flour resembles crumbles, set the bowl aside.
  • Sprinkle a flat surface (I use my chopping board) with tbsp of all-purpose flour.
  • Pour your flour mixture onto the flat surface, and roll it into a ball.
  • Place the dough into a plastic zip bag, and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle your flat surface with 1 1/2 tbsp of flour.
  • Use the remaining 1/2 tbsp of flour and rub it on your roll pin
  • Remove the dough from the bag, and begin to flatten it out with your roll pin.
  • Once your dough is ready, lightly butter your pie pan.
  • Carefully place the dough into the pie pan. Remove any excess crust.
  • For looks, press a fork down on the edges to make a better appearance.
  • Your crust is ready to use!
