TM

1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons cold water

the texture resembles a coarse meal. Drizzle in water
and continue pulsing until the dough just starts to come
together. Turn onto a sheet of plastic, form into a ball
and cover. Flatten to a 7-inch disc and refrigerate for 15
minutes.
2. Roll out between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch
circle. Remove top sheet of plastic and invert pastry
onto a 9-inch pie plate. Center the pastry and press onto
the bottom and sides of the dish. Remove the remaining
plastic, roll under the edges and crimp decoratively.
Freeze for 15 minutes.
3. Use unbaked crust as indicated in recipe of your choice.
Or for a prebaked crust, heat the oven to 400 . Prick the
bottom and corners of the pie shell with a fork and cover
lightly with foil. Bake for 16 minutes. Uncover and bake
an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until golden. Cool on a
rack before using.
This basic recipe is fundamental to any low-carb repertoire. It
can be used to create countless sweet and savory dishes.
