Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fine salt salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2/3 cup vegetable shortening
- 7 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup cold water
Instructions
- Prep the water by adding 3-4 ice cubes and filling a measuring cup with water. Let it sit so the water gets good and cold. In a large bowl add the flour, salt and sugar and whisk together.
- Cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork. The mixture should look coarse.
- Remove the ice from the cold water and measure ½ cup. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time into the flour mixture and mix with a large fork.
- Once dough is formed, shape into a ball and cut in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Ideally overnight if possible.
- Prepare a lightly floured surface and begin to roll dough from center in all directions to create a circle. Move dough on floured surface so it does not stick.
- Using a rolling pin to roll dough, move the dough to pie pan for baking.
- Lay dough on pie pan and with your hands gently make sure the dough fills the bottom and rests on the sides. Pinching dough with your fingers to create a nice ribbon on the top edge.
- Bake crust according to the pie recipe you are following.

Notes
- As more water is added, the dough will begin to take shape. You won’t want to over mix and the dough will come together quickly. Adding too much water will make a tough pie crust and adding not enough makes a crust dry and crumbly. A pie crust ball can be kept up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months when frozen.
