  • 20-25 raspberries

Instructions
  1. Steps to prepare the pie crust:
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Grease a pie dish or a deep cake pan.
  4. Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl.
  5. Add butter to the mix and make coarse crumbles.

Notes
The exact amount of water depends on the quality of flour and surrounding atmosphere. Add more water by ½ tablespoonful if dough is dry.
Using a food processor may make it easier to make the dough.
Use any other fruits of your choice such as peach, plum, strawberry, etc.
Please take into consideration that many factors such as quality and type of ingredients, time and temperature influence the outcome of a recipe.
Feel free to adjust the recipe to suit your taste bud and requirements.
