["For the crust:", "1. Mix the pastry flour and salt together, then pour the whole lot onto a large cutting board or countertop where you have some room to move.", "2. With a bench scraper, cut in half of the butter until it is the size of lima beans, then cut in the other half of the butter until it is the size of quarters.", "3. Using your fingers, flick the water onto the butter flour mixture and gently fold it in with your bench scraper. You have added enough water when you can pick up a handful of the dough and squeeze it together without it falling apart. The dough may have a few dry spots and that's okay.", "4. Then, pull a small section of the dough off and using the heel of your hand push the dough down and away from you. You have just created a sheet of dough which is going to turn into delicious flaky crust. Scrape this section of dough off of the board and place it into a bowl to the side. Repeat with the remaining dough, a small section at a time, until you have worked through all of the dough.", "5. Once this is complete, gently remove the dough from the bowl and press it together. Then split it in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap and form into disks. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour before using. I chilled mine overnight. (See the related blog post for a link to a photo tutorial.)", "To assemble and bake:", "Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F.", "1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the dough into a 12\" circle about 1/8\""thick and place it into a 9\"" pie pan. Place in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the pie.""
