Easy Pie Crust

2 1/3 cup flour
1 cup soft butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup ice water

Mix well, but don't beat. Dough may be a little sticky. Let rest 5 minutes, then roll out on a floured surface. Put in pie dish and trim extras off the edges. Poke sides and bottom with a fork and bake for 12 minutes in a 375* oven.

*D: I am not a pie crust maker. I hate making pie crust because I always think it's harder than it is and that it doesn't turn out good. This crust is rather easy and tastes really good.

Be aware that the crust will shrink about half an inch as it bakes, so make sure there is a little extra around the edges.

This recipe makes 2 pie crusts. If you only need one pie, the leftovers can be rolled in a ball and refrigerated for a few days OR you can put it in a pie pan and freeze baked or thawed. Pin It
