Raw pie dough too crumbly; can't roll it out

Question

I made the dough yesterday, put it in the fridge all night. Now when rolling it out it's too crumbly. I probably didn't use  enough water. How can I correct this now?

Hi Mary, don't despair! You can lightly sprinkle the dough with water (sometimes I also just rub soft butter on the dry parts), fold the dough a few times so you're sure the dry parts are no longer dry, then wrap it up and chill for 15 minutes.

try spritzing it with a little water and gently knead it in. cover it with plastic wrap before rolling to help it come together.
