PERFECT PIE CRUST FROM KING ARTHUR FLOUR
Saw this method for making pie crust on KAF site. It involves using your fingers to attain the perfect consistency. Basically, the method includes working in larger than usual hunks of butter, and instead of mashing them with a pastry cutter, you squeeze the butter pieces with your fingers to flatten them. Those pieces of flat butter will make for the coveted "VB" (visible butter) in your rolled crust, and the taste is flaky and fantastic on your resulting pie

Steps:
- Sift together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Set to the side.
- Size your butter. One stick cut into small pieces, the other cut into fairly large pieces (double the size you'd usually cut for a pie crust.
- Work in the stick of smaller butter with a dough scraper (my new favorite tool and very easy to clean). It's not going to have the same impact that double the butter would in terms of working in, but go for the regular pea sized consistency.
- Now, add the bigger hunks of butter. Gently coat them with flour in the mixture, so they won't stick to you when you squeeze them.
- one by one, squeeze all of those pieces of butter until they're flat like pancakes. You don't have to be too precious about it. Grab, squeeze, then move on to the next one.
- Give the mixture another stir with your pastry scraper. Now, start adding the water. Switch back to your dough scraper.
- Keep on adding it bit by bit until the dough forms a shaggy consistency, still floury but you can clump it together.
- Gather, form into a ball, and place on top of a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap the plastic on top of it, not too snugly, and then flatten it into a disc with your hand. Doing it this way, I learned, helps the dough spread out into the plastic and is just less messy.
- Chill dough in fridge.
- Proceed with your recipe as usual.

- Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl., With a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips, cut or rub half of the fat into the flour mixture until it resembles cornmeal., Take the remainder of the fat and cut or rub it in until the largest pieces are the size of a dime, or flattened peas., Sprinkle the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, over the flour/fat mixture., With a fork, toss the mixture that you've just moistened and push it to one side., Continue until the dough is just moist enough to hold together.
- Then gather it into a ball (a bit like gently packing a snowball), cut it in half and flatten the halves into two disks., If you're making a double-crust pie, make the piece for the bottom crust larger, since it has to cover more real estate; the bottom piece should be about twice the size of the top piece., Wrap the two pieces of dough and put them in the refrigerator to give them a rest for 30 minutes or more before rolling them out.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt., Add the shortening, working it in until the mixture is evenly crumbly., Add the butter to the flour mixture, and work it in roughly with your fingers, a pastry cutter, or a mixer.
- Don't be too thorough; the mixture should be very uneven, with big chunks of butter in among the smaller ones., Add 2 tablespoons of water, and toss to combine., Toss with enough additional water to make a chunky mixture.
- It should barely hold together when you squeeze a handful, though the remainder may look quite dry., Shape the dough into a disk about 1" thick, and refrigerate it for 30 minutes or longer; this resting period allows the flour to absorb the water, making the dough easier to roll out.
- If you decide to let the dough chill longer than 30 minutes allow it rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before rolling, to allow the butter to soften up a bit. , When you're "ready to roll," remove the dough from the fridge.
