How to make butter pie crust:

Combine flour and salt in large bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water with a fork, just until flour is moistened.

Divide dough in half; shape each half into ball. Flatten slightly. Wrap 1 ball in plastic food wrap; refrigerate.

For 1 crust pie, roll 1 ball of dough on lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into a 9-inch pie pan; unfold dough, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan. Crimp or flute edge. Fill and bake according to recipe directions.

For baked unfilled pie shell, prepare dough as directed above for 1 crust pie. Prick crust all over with fork before baking. Bake at 475 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Makes pastry for 1 (2-crust) pie or 2 pie shells.
