  • Once it is all rubbed in, the flour should have a sand-like texture. Then, add in the cold water and mix everything together till it forms a rough ball.
  • Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it a few times, until the dough is smooth.
  • As the dough reaches the desired texture, wrap it in plastic and let it chill in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.
  • Once the dough is done resting, transfer it to a floured surface and roll it out till it reaches 12 inches in diameter.
  • Carefully place the dough into the pie pan and make sure that all of it is touching the pan, cut off the excess on the sides with a paring knife.

  • Once the crust is out of the oven, let it cool down for sometime.

  • Once the butter has cooled down, add in the brown sugar, golden syrup and corn syrup and whisk until everything is combined.
  • Lastly, add in the eggs, bourbon, vanilla and salt and mix again. Once done, cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and keep it aside.
