Steps:

• Pre-measure all ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, sift flour and salt, together.
• Using the rubbing method (Fraisage), mix in chilled butter into the flour mixture, until the dough looks like course lumps.
• Inside the bowl, make a "well" in the center of the dough.
• Pour only he water into the center of the "well".
• Using a plastic dough scraper, mix ingredients together.
• Dump onto lightly floured surface.
• Pull dough together.
• Half the dough with your hands and put one half on top of the other half and press down. Note: Your are encouraging more layers with this step.
• Press down and form into a disc.
• Wrap dough tightly in plastic.
• Place in refrigerator for 4-24 hours. Note: This gives the dough time to rest.
• After the dough has rested, remove from refrigerator and plastic wrap.
• Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Lightly dust your work surface with flour.
• Place dough on dusted surface and cut dough in half. Note: If you fo not need 2 pie crusts or a top crust, place the unused half back in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. If it will be longer than 2 days, freeze the dough for later use.
• Dust a rolling pin with flour.
• Begin to roll the pie dough into a circular shape. Rotating dough a half turn after each roll. Note: If dough is sticking to the rolling pin or counter top, add a small amount of flour to these surfaces, and continue.
• If dough gets too warm, refrigerate for 5 minutes, remove and continue rolling out.
• Roll dough to 1/4" thick.
• Place rolling pin at one end of the dough edge.
• Pick up edge of dough and wrap over top of the rolling pin. Continue to roll pin, so that the dough is completely wrapped around it. Note: This is to prevent the dough from tearing, during transfer.
• Pick up rolling pin on either side and transfer dough to pie plate.
• Starting at the edge of pie plate furthest away from you, lay dough edge over the plate edge, so dough slightly hangs over the side.
• Continue to lay the dough over the pie plate, by continuously rolling the pin toward you.
• Gently press dough into the plate by using one hand to lift outer edges of dough, while using the other to lightly press the dough into the plate.
• With a paring knife, cut the excess over-hang of dough along the outside edge of the pie plate.
• If desired, egg wash the edges of the pie crust for a shiny, golden brown color.
• Line inside of pie plate (over the dough), with parchment paper, with a layer of foil on top.
• Fill the foiled surface with pie weights/beans.
• Place in pre-heated oven and blind bake for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, remove paper, foil and beans from pan and "dock" (poke with a fork) the bottom of the pie crust.
• Wrap crust edges in foil or use a pie shield, in order to prevent the top edges from burning.
• Bake for 15 minutes longer. Note: This "drys out" the crust, so as to not have a soggy crust in the finished product.

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Note: If desired, use the dough scraps for shape cut-outs and place on top of raw pie and brush with egg wash.
• Move top rack to the upper, bottom-half of the oven. Note: This is to prevent over browning of the crust and cracking in the custard.
• Cover edges of pie crust with foil/pie shield.
• Place pie in oven, on top rack.
• Bake for 40 minutes. Note: The edges of the custard should be set, with a slightly jiggly center.
