Time 1h10m

Yield 2 single-crust 9-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons chilled vegetable shortening
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, diced
6 to 7 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

In a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt. Add the shortening and butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With the motor running, pour the water through the feed tube and process until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, adding no more water than necessary. Divide the dough into 2 balls, flatten them into thick disks and place them between waxed-paper sheets. Refrigerate for at least one hour before rolling out.
