Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 7 tablespoons very cold butter, cut into small pieces
Method
Mix flour with salt in a medium bowl or food processor.
Add butter and cut in using a pastry blender, or pulse in food processor.
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until dough forms into a ball.
Gather up and pat into a disc. If possible, cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before rolling out.
When ready to use, roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch circle.
Gently fold into quarters using a little flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Place dough in pie plate and carefully unfold, fitting loosely and then pressing into place.
Trim the edges and crimp for a decorative crust.
