Time 20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup cake flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅛ cup baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
1 ¼ cups shortening
1 egg
¼ cup cold water
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 teaspoons almond extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar. Cut in the shortening by pinching between your fingers or using a pastry blender, until the mixture has lumps no larger than peas. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, water, vanilla, and almond extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into halves, pat into a ball, and flatten slightly. Wrap each one in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight before rolling out to make a crust.
