Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar (optional, enhances flakiness)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.

Step 2

Add the cubed, cold unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to gently work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine ice water and apple cider vinegar (if using). Gradually add this liquid mixture to the dough, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork after each addition until the dough just comes together. Avoid over-mixing.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a couple of times to bring it together, then divide it into two equal portions.

Step 5

Flatten each portion into a round disc, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. This resting time allows the dough to firm up and hydrate, ensuring flakiness.

Step 6

When ready to use, roll out one of the discs on a floured surface to fit your pie or cobbler dish. Gently transfer the crust to the dish, trimming any excess and leaving a small overhang if desired.

Step 7

If making a lattice or double crust, roll out the second disc of dough and proceed with your design. For a cobbler, you can cut the dough into shapes or simply lay it over the filling.

Step 8

Bake as directed per your pie or cobbler recipe, typically at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.

Step 9

Allow the finished cobbler or pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth crust!
