Ingredients

16 servings

  • 2 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour, or more as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 14 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup chilled water, or more as needed

Instructions

  • Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal. Pour in water slowly; knead dough into a firm ball.
  • Pour in additional water as needed if dough is too dry or additional flour if too moist. Divide batter into equal halves. Roll out dough halves into rounds on a lightly floured work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin to desired thickness.
  • Press one round into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the other round as a top crust or for a separate bottom crust. Bake according to desired filling instructions.
