Cooking Instructions!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, quickly work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, while gently mixing with a fork. Stop adding water once the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together into a smooth ball.
Divide the dough in half and roll each portion into a round disc.
Wrap the discs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.
When ready to use, roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into your pie dish.
Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired.
Proceed with your favorite pie recipe.
