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, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Combine apple cider vinegar and ice-cold water in a measuring jug. Gradually pour this into the dry ingredients while gently mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball without over-kneading; divide it into two disks and wrap them in foil. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
  4. Roll out one disk between two sheets of baking parchment to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Chill again while preparing your filling.
