Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, sugar & butter in large bowl.
- With a pastry cutter start working the butter into the dry ingredients until it looks like crumbs.
- You can also use 2 butter knives & cross them through the ingredients to combine
- Once you have reached a crumbly texture add water
- Work it together with your hands pressing & lightly kneading it together until you have a moist ball that holds together well.
- On a well floured surface - place dough
- Flour your rolling pin & start working from the center pushing outward in all directions
- Once you have stretched the dough large enough to fill your pie plate - transfer to your plate.
- Flute your edges.
- If you are baking this pie & filling afterwards - Poke holes in bottom of crust with a fork & bake at 425 degrees conventional/ 400 convection for approximately 15 minutes.
- Baking time is just for crust. If you are filling the pie before baking - do not poke holes in crust.
Recipe Notes
Recipe is for 1 bottom crust. You can easily double this for a top & bottom or continue doubling on the number of pies you are making.
