Instructions

1. Dice 1 stick of butter. Cut the stick in half and use an egg slicer to make small slices. Turn the butter and slice to make diced cubes. Repeat with the other half stick of butter. Break apart pieces with a fork and refrigerate.

2. Mix flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Remember to spoon flour into the measuring cup rather than scooping with the measuring cup.

3. Blend butter cubes into the dry ingredients. Mash the small cubes into the dough while stirring with a fork.

4. Add cold or iced water to the dough. Use ¼ to ½ Tbsp. at a time and mix after each addition. When the dough forms a ball and feels slightly sticky to touch, you have enough water.

5. Place the ball of dough onto a piece of wax paper. Lay a second piece of wax paper over the ball and roll out the dough. Turn your pie pan upside down on top of the pie crust to measure size. You may need to tear off a section of pie crust and move it to make rolling easier.

6. Pull off the top piece of wax paper. Set the pie pan upside down on the pie crust and flip it over. Adjust as needed and remove the second piece of wax paper, which should now be on top of the pie crust.

7. Fill with pie filling or bake and freeze.
