Instructions
- 1
Whisk the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the chilled cubes of butter, and use your fingertips to break the butter into the flour until the largest pieces are the size of peas. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, and ice water, then pour the mixture into the bowl with the flour.

Stir gently to combine, adding a few teaspoons of flour if the dough is sticky. Then gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Remove the dough from the fridge, discard the plastic, and roll it out on a floured surface until you have a sheet about 1/8 inch thick. Place the crust in a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate.
