Time 4h15m

Yield Pastry for two 9-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
5 tablespoons salted butter, cut in several pieces
6 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in several pieces
3 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons ice water (a bit more or less may be needed)

Steps:

  • Mix flour, salt and sugar.
  • Using a processor, a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the salted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add unsalted butter and shortening and cut them in until the lumps are the size of peas.
  • If you have been using a processor, transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Sprinkle on the ice water a little at a time and toss with a fork until the mixture comes together in lumps and holds together when pressed. If necessary, add more ice water, sparingly. Avoid kneading the dough.
  • Gather the dough into two balls, wrap each tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least four hours.

I'm not sure what happened, but my pie crust turned out really tough. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

I'm not a big fan of this pie crust recipe. It's a bit too bland for my taste.

This pie crust was a bit too flaky for my taste. I prefer a more tender crust.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie crust turned out tough and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
