Home-made Pie Crust Dough
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter
- ¼ cup shortening
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ cup ice water
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor and pulse to mix. Add the cold butter and pulse 6–8 times. Add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture begins to clump together.
- Remove the dough from the machine and place it in a mound on a clean surface. Divide it in half and gently flatten each half into a disk without over-kneading. Wrap each disk in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
