Vinegar & Butter Pie Crust image

I am the worst pie crust maker. I about gave up until I tried this recipe. Now even I can bake a homemade pie. Timesaver: Keep extra dough frozen until ready to use. Allow 2 days to thaw in refrigerator.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 3/4 cups cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 extra large egg

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
  • Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Whisk the vinegar, egg, and 1/2 cup of ice water together and mix into the flour mixture with your hands until just combined.
  • Transfer to a clean work surface, and gently press to form a dough.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal parts.
  • Shape each into a ball, flatten slightly to form a disk, and wrap in plastic.
