The first step is to add your flour to a good size bowl, we love stainless steel bowls since they last forever and are non-toxic.
After you add your flour go ahead and add your other dry ingredients, and mix them into the flour.
Take your cold butter out of the fridge and use a cheese grinder to start shredding away.After your butter is all shredded into little pieces, dump it in your flour and go ahead and use your hands to clump everything together until you get a nice lumpy flour mixture that has at least penny size to nickel-size butter chunks in it.
Add cold water to your flour mixture. The more you mix it the more it will come together. After you have all the ingredients mixed and it starts to stick together to form dough into a ball.
After your dough is formed into a ball, cut it down the middle to make two shapes like discs.
Pop your pie dough in the freezer for later usage or in the fridge if you’re going to use it that day. Let it chill for at least two hours in the fridge or at least 30 minutes in the freezer.
After your dough has chilled, roll it out flat and place on pie pan.
After you roll out your pie dough in a pie pan lay the dough flat and press it up against the edge of the pan, and cut off the excess dough that is hanging.
You will get your knuckle and press dough up against the outer edges while taking your other hand and pressing it from behind creating this cripple shape.
Keep doing this technique around your pie dough and place in fridge until you have your pie filling ready so you can bake it at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes.
