Step 1

Add the flour, sugar and salt to a 10-inch (25 ½ cm) pie pan and stir with a fork to combine.

Step 2

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.)

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.
