How To Make Pie Dough

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 
• 2.5 cups flour all-purpose
• 7 tablespoons ice water 
• 0.5 teaspoon salt 
• 1 cup butter unsalted chilled cut into tablespoon-size pieces

Equipment

• food processor
• bowl
• plastic wrap

Directions

1. Combine flour, salt, and butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 1-second pulses.
2. Stir water and vinegar in a small bowl.
3. Pour half the ice water and vinegar mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Pulse to combine, about 3 (1-second) pulses.
4. Pour in remaining ice water and vinegar mixture. Pulse until mixture just starts to come together, about 8 (1-second) pulses.
5. Turn dough out onto a wooden surface, pat into round shape and divide in half. Form each half into a disc about 5 inches wide.
6. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until ready to use.
