Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix on low speed for 10-15 seconds to combine.
Step 2
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Mix on medium-low speed until the butter is broken into small, pea-sized pieces. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the ice water, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while the mixer is running on low speed. Mix until the dough just begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly crumbly but able to hold when pinched.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather it into a disk. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days before rolling out.
Step 6
When ready to use, let the dough soften slightly at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Roll out to your desired thickness and shape for your chosen pie dish.
