Makes 1 (9-inch) pie shell
This dough can also be frozen for later use. Or use it right away to make Buttermilk Chess Pie or Pumpkin-Apple Pie.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons very cold butter, cut into small pieces
Method
Mix flour with salt in a medium bowl or food processor. Add cold 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.
