My go-to pie crust, made in a food processor
(Makes 2 crusts)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 sticks cold butter, diced
1/3 cup shortening, diced
1/2 cup ice water
- Whisk together flour, salt and sugar and place in food processor
- Add the butter and shortening. Pulse until pea-sized
- Pour the ice water down the feed tube, with machine running
- Pulse until the dough comes together and forms a ball
- Transfer the dough to a floured board and cut it in half
- Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour (can be kept in refrigerator for a long time)
