Ingredients

Servings
  • cups all-purpose flour 225 g plus extra for work surface
  • 2 Tbsp white sugar organic for vegan-friendly
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 6 Tbsp butter chopped, cold
  • 2 Tbsp shortening cold
  • ¼ cup water 60 ml, ice
  • cups dried beans 250 g, for blind-baking

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
