Simple Pie Crust (No Roll, 5 Mins)
   
Ingredients

2 cups (10 oz/284 g) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3 oz/85 g) butter, melted
2-3 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

IMPORTANT NOTE: This recipe has been changed and updated. It now includes melted butter rather than oil. This makes it flakey and buttery. Any previous issues have been resolved.

Add the flour, sugar and salt to a 10-inch (25 ½ cm) pie pan and stir with a fork to combine.
Pour in the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of water to the dry ingredients and continue stirring until the dough clumps together. (If it seems very dry, add the additional tablespoon of water, a little at a time, until the dough comes together.)
With your fingers, press the dough into the bottom and all the way up the sides of pie pan, doing your best to make it evenly thick all around.
Now your pie crust is ready to be used! You can blind bake it, freeze it, or use it in any of our single crust pie recipes.
