- 1In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the butter (or shortening) using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water slowly, stirring with a fork or knife until the dough just comes together. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, if needed.
- 2On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough thin. Fit the dough onto a tin pie pan. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up. Bake in a preheated hot oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 7 minutes, or until the crust is light brown.
