Pie Crust

Delicious, easy, rolls out well. Can do the whole thing in a food processor.



Ingredients;
2 1/2 Cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
7 tablespoons very cold butter, cut into small pieces
7 tablespoons very cold shortening, cut into small pieces

Step 1

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Drop in butter and shortening. Using your hands, a fork, a pastry cutter, or two knives, work butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles cornmeal with some small pea-size pieces.

Step 2

Using a fork, quickly stir in 1/2 cup ice water (mixture will not hold together). Turn dough and crumbs onto a clean surface. Knead just until dough starts to hold together but some bits still fall away, 5 to 10 times. Divide dough in half and pat each half into a 6-in. disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 20 minutes and up to overnight.
