This all-butter pie crust recipe is a good option for both sweet and savory pies. Ingredients including cold butter and others add flavor and texture to the crust. This pie crust is a good option for pies you plan to serve during the holidays or other pies with lattice or solid crusts. One way to make the pie dough is by hand instead of using a food processor to better control the size of butter pieces for a flakier crust.
Ingredients
- •300 g all-purpose flour
- •60 g granulated sugar
- •1 tsp salt
- •220 g unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- •110 g water (very cold, ideally ice water)
Instructions
- 1
Place the all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and mix them together.
- 2
Add the cold butter cut into cubes and mix them in with the flour mixture.
- 3
Pinch the flour along with the dry ingredients to break it up, stopping when you see about half tiny pieces and half medium pieces of butter.

Add the water and knead slightly with your hands to incorporate the dough, only until it comes together completely.
- 5
Refrigerate the ball of dough covered in plastic wrap for 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
