Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening, cut into pieces |
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces |
Directions:
1. Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the shortening and one-third of the butter; pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the remaining butter and pulse until it is the size of peas. Add 1/4 cup ice water and pulse a few more times. If the dough doesn't hold together when squeezed, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing. Divide between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Pat into disks; wrap and chill at least 1 hour.
