Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons butter, chilled in about 4 pieces
2 tablespoons shortening, chilled in about 4 pieces
3 -4 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
  • Rub in butter and shortening with your fingertips until mixture is very coarse, but no pieces larger than a large pea remain.
  • Using a fork, stir in ice water until dough almost comes together into a ball.
  • Press dough into a ball with your hands and wrap in plastic. Chill for at least 30-60 minutes before using.
  • To prebake, preheat oven to 375°F Roll dough out to fit a 9-inch pie pan and trim the crust. Prick the bottom with a fork a few times.
  • Line the inside of the crust with aluminum foil, not covering the edges, and fill with pie weights or about 2 cups of dried beans.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, until very lightly browned.
  • Remove foil and weights and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until medium brown at the edges.
  • Set aside to cool.
