Butter Flaky Pie Crust




This recipe is not very sweet and you absolutely need a food processor otherwise it turns out greasy. If you don't have a food processor you should use a recipe that uses crisco instead.

This makes a single pie crust. If you want bottom and top crust you have to double the recipe.

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
1/4 cup ice water
Add all ingredients to list

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Roll dough out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
