Basic Pie Dough
Serves: 1 (9-inch) crust
 
Ingredients
  • 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1⁄2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water and vinegar. Add vinegar-water mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, to flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a dough forms.
  3. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Let dough stand at room temperature until slightly softened before using, about 10 minutes.
Notes
Kitchen Tip: Avoid adding too much water. You only need enough to make the dough hold together when pinched with fingers.
