    How to Make Perfect Pie Crust

    1. Mixing Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt.

    2. Adding Butter

    Add the cold unsalted butter cubes to the flour mixture and toss to coat with flour.

    3. Cutting the Butter

    Cut the butter into the flour until you have a mix of walnut-sized chunks and pea-sized crumbles.

    4. Adding Ice Water

    Drizzle 3 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture and toss until it's just moistened, adding more ice water if necessary.

    5. Forming the Dough

    Fold the dough until it forms a cohesive mass, then shape it into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
