Double Crust Pie Pastry

This is my go to recipe for pie crust, it's easy and perfect.

In a large bowl mix the flour and salt
Shred the butter with a food processor or cheese shredder, you can also chop into small pieces
Mix the butter into the flour, if you don't shred the butter use a pastry cutter to mix.
Sprinkle in the ice water and incorporate with a wooden spoon or fork
Knead gently with hands until incorporated, if crumbly add a little more water
Divide into two pieces and form into balls
Flatten balls and wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 1 hour, at this point the dough can go into the freezer for up to 2 months or be refrigerated for 2-3 days
