Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients<\/strong>
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar (if using).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Cut in the Butter<\/strong>
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized bits of butter remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Add Ice Water<\/strong>
Gradually drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently with a fork or spatula until the dough just begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix \u2014 the dough should still appear slightly shaggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Form and Chill the Dough<\/strong>
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring it together into a ball. Divide it into two portions, flatten each into a disc, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Roll Out the Dough<\/strong>
On a floured surface, roll one dough disc into a circle about \u215b inch thick. Gently transfer it to your pie dish, pressing it lightly into the bottom and sides. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang, and crimp the edges as desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Chill Before Baking<\/strong>
For best results, chill the prepared pie crust \u2014 filled or unfilled \u2014 for another 15\u201320 minutes before baking. This helps the crust keep its shape and ensures a perfect flaky finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
