Cheddar Cheese Crust
Used in the Granny Smith Apple Pie (see separate recipe in Desserts section).
Makes enough crust for 8 servings or 1 pie
INGREDIENTS
2 1/4 cups
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into
1 1/2 cups shredded
1/3 to 1/2 cup ice water, or as needed
METHOD
1Prepare the pastry dough: Put the flour and salt in the bowl of your food processor fitted with the Processing Blade. Pulse the machine 5 or 6 times to combine them. Add the frozen butter and process for 5 seconds. Add the shredded cheddar and pulse the machine four times to mix it in.
2In a measuring cup, combine the cider vinegar and 1/3 cup ice water. With the motor running, pour the vinegar/water mixture through the feed tube and continue processing until a ball of dough forms. If the dough doesn't come together, add another tablespoon or two of ice water.
3Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, form it into an even ball, and cut it into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Pat each piece into a flattened disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, then chill the disks in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
