This dough forms the basis for pies, tarts, quiches, and other sorts of light crusts. This recipe makes enough dough
|
||||
to line the bottom of a 9” pie dish, so adjust the quantities according to what you intend to make. It helps a lot to
|
||||
chill the butter, shortening, and water ahead of time.
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- ingredients:
|
||||
- { amount: 1, unit: cup, item: "flour, all-purpose" }
|
||||
- { amount: 6, unit: oz, item: "butter, unsalted" }
|
||||
- { amount: 2, unit: tbsp, item: "vegetable shortening" }
|
||||
- { amount: 0.5, unit: tsp, item: "salt" }
|
||||
- { amount: 0.125, unit: tsp, item: "sugar, granulated" }
|
||||
directions: >
|
||||
Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and combine with a pastry cutter until pea-sized chunks have formed.
|
||||
- ingredients:
|
||||
- { amount: 0.25, unit: cup, item: "water, iced" }
|
||||
directions: >
|
||||
Pour in about 3/4 of the water and mix quickly with your hand until a contiguous paste has formed. Keep adding
|
||||
water as needed until a smooth and slightly sticky dough has formed.

|
||||
Lay out the dough on a lightly floured surface, and knead it by smearing it vigorously about 6” across the surface
|
||||
using the heel of your hand. Then, gather the dough back together, fold it in half, turn it 90°, and repeat.
|
||||
Keep this up until completely combined. Then, place the dough in the center of some waxed paper and cover with
|
||||
another piece. Using a rolling pin, flatten until it is smooth and makes a disc about the same diameter as the
|
||||
short side of your paper. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before using.
