Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crusts)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar (optional, for flakier crust)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar (if using). Mix until well incorporated.

Step 2

2. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces remaining.

Step 3

3. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to the ice water. Gradually drizzle the ice water (1 tablespoon at a time) into the flour and butter mixture, gently stirring or folding with a fork after each addition.

Step 4

4. Once the dough just starts to come together, stop adding water. The dough should hold its shape when pinched but not be sticky.

Step 5

5. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and divide it into two equal portions. Gently form each portion into a disc, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

6. Wrap each dough disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days) to allow the gluten to relax and the butter to chill.

Step 7

7. When ready to use, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, typically 1/8 inch. Transfer to a pie dish and proceed as your recipe calls for filling and baking.

Step 8

8. For an unbaked crust, trim and crimp the edges. For a par-baked or blind-baked crust, use pie weights and bake according to your pie recipe.
