Homemade Pie Crust

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into cubes and chilled
3-4 tablespoons ice water

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Add the butter and use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until a rough dough mass is formed.
Form the dough into a ball and then flatten into a round disk. Use immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to two days.
Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round place it in a lightly greased 9-inch tart pan. Trim away any excess dough spilling over the edges.
Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry shell with the tines of a fork. Press a sheet of aluminum foil into the pastry shell.
Preheat the oven to 425 F and bake for 8 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 3-4 minutes or until the pastry crust is dry but not brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
