Ingredients:
- 320g all-purpose flour
- 6g fine sea salt
- 12g granulated sugar
- 227g unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
- 90ml ice water
- 5ml apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl or food processor, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar until combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Mix the apple cider vinegar into the ice water. Drizzle half of the liquid over the flour and toss gently. Continue adding water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just begins to clump into a shaggy mass.
- Turn the dough onto a clean surface and divide into two equal portions. Form into discs and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate the dough discs for at least one hour to allow the gluten to relax and the butter to firm up before rolling.
