Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Sifted flour is mixed with sugar and salt.

Step 3

Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Then add the egg and knead into a smooth dough (if necessary, you can add a spoonful of ice water). Refrigerate for 25 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out a portion of the dough and cut out a circle using a pie cutter, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator. This will be the pie crust.
