Instructions:

• Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Whisk together until well combined.
• Step 2: Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Step 3: Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time. Mix gently until the dough begins to hold together.
• Step 4: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Step 5: After chilling, roll the dough out into a circle about 1/8-inch thick on a floured surface.
• Step 6: Transfer the rolled-out dough to your pie dish, pressing gently to eliminate air pockets.
• Step 7: Pre-bake if needed by pricking the bottom and baking at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
