This Pie Crust Recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make and beats the bought stuff in every way. Flaky and buttery, it makes the best pies!

– Cup Flour – Salt – Sugar  – Butter – Ice Water

Ingredients

Remove your butter from the fridge and make your ice water. Measure out the flour, salt and sugar if using into a medium sized mixing bowl. Give the ingredients a quick mix to combine.

1

Take your butter and cut it into small cubes. This makes it easier to incorporate into the flour. Add the butter to the dry ingredients.

2

Use your finger tips or a pastry cutter to press the cold butter into the flour. This is why it’s so important you have cold butter so it doesn’t melt.

3

Stop when the butter is about the size of a pea, you don’t it to be completely incorporated. This will help with your pastry being flaky.

4

Pour a couple tablespoon of ice water into the bowl and use a knife to cut through the dough and mix.
