I have used this recipe for years, but there is one little difference. I add a scant teaspoon of salt. It helps the taste of the crust.

A bit more difficult to work with than my usual recipe (without vinegar). The taste was good, however I had difficulty achieving the proper elasticity.

Also my mother's favorite - easiest crust I've ever made. Best if you chill the crust before baking.
