All-Butter Pie Crust

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • All-Butter Perfect Pie Crust
  • Makes 2 crusts
  • 2 cups 300 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 12 tablespoons 1 1/2 sticks / 168 grams very cold butter, cut into 12 pieces (24 if doing by hand)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon 7 ml white or apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons 45 ml ice cold water

Instructions
 

  • Add the flour, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse once or twice to combine.
  • Add the butter. Pulse a few times, just until the butter mixes into the flour, forming a sandy mixture with some pea-sized pieces.
  • Add the vinegar and water. Pulse 60 to 90 seconds just until it comes together into a ball of dough. It’ll start out looking like wet sand, and comes together into a ball during the last few seconds of pulsing.
  • Dump the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces, and shape into 1-inch thick, round disks. Wrap tightly in plastic film, and chill 15 minutes before using.
