Flaky Pastry Crust

Ingredients:

2 1/4 c. flour
1 stick unsalted cold butter
1 egg
1/3 c. ice cold water
1 tbsp. regular vinegar

Step 1:

In a small bowl beat the egg. Add in the vinegar and cold water.

Step 2:

In a separate bowl or the food processor, combine the cold butter (cut in small pieces) with the flour until it resembles a coarse meal.

Step 3:

Add in the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

Step 4:

Put the dough mix in a well floured surface and knead for a couple of seconds just to bring everything together and form into a dough. Do not over work it! Wrap with plastic and chill for 1 hour at least.

Step 5:

Roll out the dough making sure you have a well floured board and rolling pin to avoid sticking. Your crust is ready to use by now.

Step 6:

I used mine to do some sweet bean empanada but it surely can be used as a regular pie crust too.
