All-Butter Pie Dough Recipe

All-Butter Pie Dough Recipe

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  1. Pulse flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Pulse in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal with pieces of butter still visible, about 20 pulses.
  2. Combine vinegar and 1/2 cup ice water in a measuring cup. Pulsing, drizzle in vinegar mixture; pulse until dough just holds together when squeezed (it should still be crumbly), about 10 pulses.
  3. Turn out dough and divide in half. Place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap and use plastic to press into disks. Wrap and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  4. Do ahead: Dough can be chilled 3 days ahead. Or, freeze up to 2 months.
