Easy Homemade Pie Crust

Homemade pie crust is a cinch with this easy recipe.

For a single 9" crust:                                       For a double 9" crust:

1 cup flour                                                      1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt                                                    1/2 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. butter, softened but not melted           1/2 cup butter
2-3 Tbsp. cold water                                       4-5 Tbsp. cold water

Mix the flour and salt together in a medium size bowl (you can also use a food processor which is so much easier). Cut the butter into the flour mixture, until it resembles course crumbs. Add the water and mix until the dough follows the spoon around the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly flour surface and lightly knead the dough. If you mixed dough for a double crust pie, divide the dough into two balls. Roll each ball into a 9" circle. If you used a food processor to mix your dough, wrap the dough with saran wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let the butter harden a little.

Now get out that apron, and Break an Egg!
