Buttercrust Pastry Dough Recipe

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a disc. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

When ready to use, lightly flour a clean surface and rolling pin. Roll out the pastry dough to your desired thickness.

Use the dough to line your pie or tart pans, and proceed with your chosen recipe.
