Basic Pie Dough

Whisk the flour and salt together. Add butter and rub with your fingertips, until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the water and mix until it holds together when pressed into a ball. Divide the dough in 2 and shape each portion into a thick disc. Chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling out onto a floured surface. This dough can be kept in the fridge for 3 days or frozen for 6 weeks.
