Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup ice-cold water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cubed cold butter, blending it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a measuring jug, mix together the apple cider vinegar and ice-cold water. Slowly pour this into the dry mixture while gently mixing until a dough forms. Avoid over-kneading.
- Shape the dough into a ball, divide it into two disks, wrap in foil, and chill for at least one hour.
- Roll out one disk between two sheets of baking parchment until it’s slightly larger than your pie dish. Fit it into the greased dish and chill again.
- Repeat with the second disk if making a double-crust pie.
