Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Pastry Cutter
  • Measuring cups
  • Plastic wrap
  • Refrigerator
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ Cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Sugar
  • ½ Cup Vegetable Shortening Chilled
  • ½ Cup Butter Cold And Cubed
  • 6 Tbsp ICE Water

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Whisk them together until they are well combined.
  • Add the cold shortening and butter to the flour. Use your pastry cutter to mix them well. The mixture should look like small, coarse crumbs.
  • Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time. Stir the dough gently with a large fork. Stop adding water when the dough holds together.
  • Divide the dough into two even round balls. Wrap each ball tightly in clear plastic wrap.
  • Place the wrapped dough in the fridge. Let it chill for at least one hour. Chilling makes the dough much easier to roll.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter for a flakier crust.
  • Do not overwork the dough with your warm hands.
  • Add ice water slowly to avoid a sticky mess.
  • Always chill the dough before you start rolling it.
  • Flour your work surface to prevent the dough sticking.
