- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water (ice water)
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar (or lemon juice)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Combine the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in the cold butter into small pieces (you can pull the butter from the fridge 30 minutes before adding) and add to the flour, mixing it in until the dough is a rough, crumbly texture.
-
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk the egg, water and vinegar or lemon juice and add it all at once, mixing until dough comes together.
-
Step 3: Shape dough into two semi-flattened discs. Wrap them in plastic and chill for at least one hour before rolling.
-
Step 4: The pie dough can be frozen for up to six months and thawed in the refrigerator.
