Crusts

One of my baking pet peeves is when a recipe calls for a pre-made pie crust. Homemade pie crust is simple, takes less time to make than most pie fillings, and is infinitely tastier than whatever you might buy in the store.    

There are 4 ingredients in my favorite pie crust recipe and one of those ingredients is water.

8- to 9-inch Two-Crust Pie (top and bottom crust)
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt 
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoon room temperature butter 
4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
