  • Total Time: 59 minute
  • Yield: Approximately 8 servings 1x

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

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the cold unsalted butter and blend with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. In a measuring jug, mix together apple cider vinegar and ice-cold water. Slowly pour this mixture over the dry ingredients while mixing until it forms a dough.
  3. Gather the dough into a ball without kneading it, divide into two disks, wrap in foil, and chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
  4. Roll out one disk between two sheets of baking parchment into a circle slightly larger than a 9-inch pie dish. Fit into the greased pie dish and return to the fridge until ready to use.
