- Place flour, sugar and salt in a medium/large bowl.

Tips:
- Use cold ingredients: This will help prevent the gluten in the flour from developing, which will make the crust tough. To chill the butter, cut it into small pieces and freeze for 30 minutes before using. You can also chill the flour by placing it in the freezer for 30 minutes before using.
- Work quickly: Overworking the dough will also make it tough. Once the ingredients are combined, work the dough just until it comes together. If you need to roll out the dough again, chill it for at least 30 minutes before doing so.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will spill out and the crust will become soggy. To prevent this, leave about 1 inch of space around the edge of the pie crust.
- Bake the pie crust for the correct amount of time: If you underbake the pie crust, it will be doughy. If you overbake it, it will be dry and crumbly. The best way to tell if the pie crust is done is to insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean.
Conclusion:
Making a perfect pie crust is not difficult, but it does take a little practice. By following these tips and tricks, you can easily make a delicious and flaky pie crust that will impress your family and friends.
