Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup cold vegetable shortening
- 8 to 10 tablespoons ice water
Instruction
- In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add the flour, salt, and sugar. Pulse a few times to mix.
- Add the butter and shortening. Pulse until the butter is about the size of peas.
- With the machine on low, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse until the dough begins to form into a ball.
- Then, place the dough onto a floured surface and roll into a ball. If you still have some dry flour, just sprinkle a little more water onto it until it combines with the rest of the ball.
- Cut the dough in half (for a pie with a top and a bottom crust) or leave it whole. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes.
