Ingredients
Directions
To make the dough, combine the flour and salt in a glass mixing bowl. Using your fingers, rub in the butter until the mixture looks like small breadcrumbs. Make a well in the center and add the egg. Hand mix well and add ice water as necessary until the dough holds together, approximately 2–3 teaspoons. Remove the dough and shape into a ball. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before use.
When ready to use, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Using the rolling pin, place the dough into a buttered metal pie pan. Pierce the bottom with a fork. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Makes one pie crust.
