| Pie
Crust |
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/3 c. butter — chilled — cut into small pieces
1/3 c. shortening
1/3 c. ice water (* see note)
extra flour for rolling
Place the flour and salt into a medium-sized bowl. Add the butter
and shortening. Using a pastry blender, mix until it looks like
coarse meal. Add the water and mix with a wooden spoon until
dough begins to come together. Form dough into a ball using
your hands. Divide dough into halves and flatten both sections
into disks. Wrap both halves in plastic wrap separately and
chill for at least a half hour.
*Depending on the weather, you may need to add a little more
water if the dough does not come together. Add a few drops at
a time until it does. sIf it is a moist day, you may want to
add less than 1/3 c. water to avoid the dough being too wet. |
