Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) if you plan to par-bake the crust for a pre-cooked filling.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the melted unsalted butter into the mixing bowl and use a fork to mix until crumbly and evenly coated.
Step 4
Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough sticks together but is not wet or sticky.
Step 5
Press the dough directly into a 9-inch pie pan, starting from the center and working outward. Use your fingers to spread it evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
Step 6
Flute the edges of the crust by pinching the dough between your thumb and index finger or pressing with the tines of a fork for a decorative finish.
Step 7
If using immediately for a no-bake or pre-cooked filling, par-bake the crust by pricking the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing and baking in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Step 8
Allow the crust to cool completely before filling. If baking with a filling, follow the specific recipe instructions.
