Pumpkin Pie Directions
- 1
Make the Pie Crust
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
