Ingredients for Tender Pie Crust
375g plain flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
150g plus 2 tablespoons (2 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
120ml (or more) ice water
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
How to make Tender Pie Crust
Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter; using on/off turns, process until coarse meal forms. Add 120ml ice water and cider vinegar; blend until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough together. Turn dough out onto work surface; divide dough in half. Form each half into ball and flatten into disk. Wrap disks separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Can be made ahead. Keep dough refrigerated up to 2 days, or enclose in resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 1 month, then thaw in refrigerator overnight. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
