this recipe is adapted from multiple of Beth's pie recipes, which often have both top and bottom crust. The link here is the pumpkin pie with one crust worth, but I took out the egg yolk part.
****** The portion of ice water also varies across Beth's recipe. 1/3 cup seems a bit much; Anna has it at 1/4 cup. May try it next time.
****** could roll it out thinner next time or make it slightly bigger

小贴士
*** adjust water
*** Anna's variation:
1. adds vegetable oil before butter to coat the flour first to make the dough tender. It can protect the flour from absorbing too much liquid, which leads to a stretchy, tough dough.
2. adds sugar to soften the dough and
3. softens the butter for 15 mins so you won't overwork the butter or take too long to let the butter blended to overdevelop the protein in the flour.
4. adds lemon juice to add acidity to help the protein to stretch and not spring back when rolling it later
