Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar omit for a savory pie
- ¾ cup (12 tablespoons or 1 ½ sticks) cold butter cut into small cubes
- 6 tablespoons COLD vegetable shortening*
- 6-8 tablespoons (½ cup) ice water (or more, if needed)
- 1 egg beaten (optional, for double crust pies only)
Notes
- If making a single crust pie, you can either cut the recipe in half, or make the whole recipe and save one disc of pie dough in the freezer for a later date.
- *Dough can be made up to 3 days in advance if kept in the refrigerator, or up to 6 months in advance if kept in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.
- **If your dough has been chilling for more than an hour, let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before rolling to make it a bit easier.
