Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 7 tablespoons unsalted cold butter cubed
- 7 tablespoons shortening cubed
- ⅔ to 1 cup ice cold water
Instructions
- Combine flour and salt in a large bowl with a whisk.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles the size of peas.
- Add ice cold water a tablespoon at a time to one area of the dough and mix with a fork. Move to one side of the bowl and continue adding water just until dough is moistened (you don't want it to be sticky).
- Once mixed use your hands to quickly and gently fold over the dough a couple of times. Divide into two balls.
- Roll one of the balls into a 12" circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Gently roll the dough onto a rolling pin and unroll over a 9" pie pan. Cut the edges so you have about ½" overhang.
- Crimp the edges and bake according to recipe directions.
