Flaky All-Butter Pie Dough
The trick to Nicole Rucker’s flaky pie dough is the addition of acidic ingredients (apple cider vinegar and brown sugar) that help prevent gluten from overdeveloping in the dough. The recipe yields a tender, flaky, buttery crust that’s easy to roll out, browns deeply, and is never tough or dense. Use the dough for any of your favorite sweet pies, or try it with Rucker's Black-and-Blue Pie with Brown Sugar Crumb.
