Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar (optional)
Instructions
1. Attach the paddle attachment to your electric mixer. Place the all-purpose flour and salt into the mixing bowl and stir on low speed for a few seconds to combine.
2. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the bowl. Mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with pea-sized bits of butter still visible.
3. In a small bowl, combine ice water and apple cider vinegar, if using. Gradually add the liquid 1 tablespoon at a time to the mixer while it runs on low speed. Stop as soon as the dough comes together but is not too wet or sticky.
4. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions, flattening each into a disc. Wrap each disc tightly in plastic wrap.
5. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling it out. This step is crucial for keeping the butter cold and ensuring a flaky crust.
6. When ready to use, roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Use it to line your pie dish or prepare it as the top crust for your savory pie.
7. Proceed with your pie recipe as directed, baking the crust as required.
