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:

  1. In a large mixing bowl or food processor, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar until combined.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Turn the dough onto a clean surface and divide into two equal portions. Form into discs and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
  5. Refrigerate the dough discs for at least one hour to allow the gluten to relax and the butter to firm up before rolling.
