Report
This dough is the perfect workhorse for all your tart and pie pastry needs. It's simple, straightforward, reliable, and delicious. It freezes well and bakes up even better.

Ingredients
- 1½ cups 225 g all-purpose flour, plus extra for work surface
- 2 Tbsp white sugar (organic for vegan-friendly)
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp cold butter chopped
- 2 Tbsp cold shortening
- ¼ cup 60 ml ice water
- 1½ cups 250 g dried beans, for blind-baking
Instructions
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Put the flour mixture in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and shortening and pulse about 10 times, or until the butter mixture is in the size of peas.
- Add the ice water 1 Tbsp at a time and process until the dough comes together. Transfer to a well-floured work surface and form into a disk. Wrap the disk in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- To freeze: Double wrap in plastic. Label with date, and transfer chilled disc into a zip-top freezer bag. Store in freezer until ready to use.
- To use: Roll and bake to recipe’s specifications. Recommended: Blind bake at 375° F for 10 minutes on full-size tart recipes, or at 375° F for 7 minutes for tartlet recipes.
