Using a combo of butter and shortening leads to a tender flaky and flavorful crust
Ingredients:
2 c ap flour
1/2 c unsalted very very cold butter, cut up (not margerine)
1/4 c shortening or lard
1 1/2 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 to 1/2 c ice water
Directions:
1. The best way to make pie crust is by using a food processor. Put all ingredients into processer except water and pulse a few time or until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea sized pieces.
2. Sprinkle the water evenly around the flour and pulse a few more times just until the dough begins to form, adding more water 1 tsp at a time if necessary.
3. Divide dough in half; shape into a flat round. Cover and chill for 20 to 30 mins.
