1. In
a bowl, add the flour and the butter. Cut in the butter until coarse
pieces
the size of peas form.
2. Add
the water, a little at a time, and mix with a fork. Mix until the flour
is held
together and forms dough.
3. Roll
out the dough on a floured surface into a 12 x12 inch circle. Fold
the
dough in half and place it in a 9 inch pie pan. Unfold and fit it in the
pie
pan without stretching it.
4. Trim
the edges with scissors so the pastry extends ¼ inch beyond the
edge of the pan. Fill with your favorite filling.
