Flaky Pie Dough
  1. Mix together the flour, sugar and salt then add the butter and toss through the flour until coated in flour

  2. Press the butter into flat flakes, working it into the flour a little more so you have a slight mix of sizes, some worked in some remaining as large flakes

  3. Refrigerate the bowl for 30 mins

  4. Drizzle in the water a little at a time, stirring together with a butter knife or tossing together with your hands

  5. Add enough water until the dough starts to form clumps and there is big pockets of flour

  6. Turn out onto your work surface and press to form into a uniform dough

  7. Wrap in clingfilm and roll out a little

  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 mins

  9. Roll out until about 15x40cm, cut into three pieces and stack atop each other

  10. Repeat the rolling and stacking process a second time so that the dough has been rolled out four times total

  11. Slightly roll out the dough and cut into two pieces

  12. Each piece is enough for a single pie crust or together can be used for a double crust pie
