Steps

  1. Whisk flour, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the largest pieces are pea-sized.
  2. Drizzle in ice water, tossing with a fork, until the dough holds together when squeezed. Add another tablespoon only if needed.
  3. Press into a disk, wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.
  4. Roll out on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle and ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhang under and crimp.
  5. Chill the crust 15 minutes before filling and baking.
Tip: Makes one 9-inch crust. Wrapped well, the dough keeps 3 days in the fridge or 3 months frozen.
