Pie Crust

2. Cut butter into flour mixture until crumbly (I use my fingers but a food processor or knives works too!)
3. Add water 1tbsp at a time mixing with a fork until the mixture is shaggy
4. Bring mix into a ball. Roll out between two pieces of saran wrap and refrigerate for a few hours.
5. Remove from fridge and shape into pan. Makes enough dough for top and bottom pastry.
