This homemade pie crust is my personal favorite and is made using a food processor, which makes cutting the butter into the flour very simple, without overworking the dough. You can make a double batch of this and freeze the individually wrapped dough for future pie-related adventures.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine flour, butter, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 (1-second) pulses.

  2. 2

    Stir ice water and vinegar in a small bowl.

  3. 3

    Pour 1/2 of the ice water mixture into flour mixture; pulse to combine, about 3 (1-second) pulses. Pour in remaining ice water mixture; pulse until mixture starts to come together, about 8 (1-second) pulses.

  4. 4

    Turn dough out onto a wooden surface, pat it into a circle, and divide it in half. Form each half into a disc, about 5-inches wide.

  5. 5

    Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until ready to use.

  6. 6

    Use in your favorite pie recipe.
