Use this crust with savory or sweet pies and you will be happy both ways! The trick? Don't smother the dough... it needs space.

Steps

1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt (I prefer to use a food processor).
2

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (again - food processor is SUPER helpful here, but not required).
3

Stir in water slowly. Usually you should add about 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture comes together and forms a ball.
4

Wrap dough ball in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
5

Roll dough out to fit the pie dish you are using.
6

Press dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the GREASED pie plate.
