Using your hands, squish the butter until they are in pea sized pieces and flakes.

When all the flour is hydrated, press the dough together and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Pull the pie dough from the fridge. Dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the dough into a circle about an inch larger than the pie pan.

Press the dough into the pie pan and fold the edges under and mold into a rim.
