Ingredients for the Perfect Pie Crust

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
6 to 8 tbsp ice water

Instructions for Making the Flaky Pie Crust

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Add in the cold, diced butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. It should be moist but not sticky.
Divide the dough into two halves and shape each into a disk. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight for the best flavor.
When you’re ready to bake, remove the dough from the fridge. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier rolling.
On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to fit your pie pan. Place it in the pan and trim the edges.
Fill with your favorite pie filling and cover with the second rolled out dough, or leave it open for a beautiful lattice top.
Bake according to your pie recipe’s instructions until golden brown.

With this pie crust recipe, you can’t go wrong. It’s flaky, buttery, and simply irresistible. Serve it up with your favorite pie filling, and get ready for compliments. Enjoy your pie-making adventure!
