Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup cold water (plus one ice cube)

2 teaspoons vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

Directions

Prepare the water/vinegar mixture. Drop an ice-cube into a measuring cup and fill the measuring cup up with water to the 1/2 cup mark. Add 2 teaspoons of white vinegar and set aside.

Mix Flour and Butter. Combine the flour, salt, and sugar together in a medium sized bowl and toss with a fork to mix evenly. Add the cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture forms large, coarse crumbs.

Add Water. Pour the water mixture, a few tablespoons at a time, into the flour/butter mixture and toss with a fork until the dough is evenly moist. Add water slowly to get the right texture.

Gather the dough. Use your hands to quickly bring the dough together in the bowl. Do not over work the dough.

Divide and Chill. Divide the dough in half and flatten into disks. Wrap the disks separately in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Bake according to what your pie recipe calls for.
