List of Ingredients




16 ounces flour, about 3 and 1/4 cups
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water


Recipe



1. Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Using your fingers, work in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and work with your fingers until the water is incorporated and the dough comes together. Add more water as needed to make a smooth dough, being careful not to over mix.

3. Form the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
