1
Brown the Butter
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it begins to foam. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter is golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Pour in the browned butter and mix until crumbly. Add the ice water gradually until the mixture comes together into a dough.
3
Chill the Dough
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
5
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your pie pan. Transfer it to the pan and trim any excess. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork.
6
Blind Bake
Place a sheet of parchment paper over the crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 10 minutes until golden.
