Add 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, mixing with a spatula or your hands until the dough comes together; you may need less than 1/4 cup water.

Place chilled dough on a generously floured surface and roll out to an 11-inch circle, adding more flour to your rolling pin as needed.

Carefully roll dough onto the rolling pin, then unroll over a 9-inch pie dish. Press dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim any excess dough and flute the edges.

Cook’s Note
Dice the butter first, and then chill before using. If you dice chilled butter, it will be too warm to use in this recipe.
If you refrigerate the dough overnight, you may need to let it sit for a few minutes before rolling.
