Hand Pie Dough

Makes enough for 10 to 20 hand pies

Ingredients
  

  • cups (344 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon (241 grams) cold unsalted butter*, cubed
  • ½ cup (120 grams) ice water
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • In the work bowl of a food processor, place flour and salt; pulse until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly and butter is pea-size, 12 to15 pulses.
  • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup (120 grams) cold water and vinegar. With processor running, add vinegar mixture to flour mixture in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together. (Mixture will look crumbly, but it should stick together when squeezed between your fingers).
  • Turn out dough. Divide in half, and shape each half into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Dough may be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
