How to Make Aunt Betty's Famous Pie Crust

  1. Whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and 6 tablespoons ice water until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form into a disc. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 weeks).
  5. Before rolling, let the dough sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to soften slightly.
