Pie Pastry Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Place flour in a large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening and butter until mixture is crumbly - a not so even mixture of little and larger lumps of flour covered fat. Stir together egg, sugar, and salt, and lemon juice. Make a well in center of flour and fat. Stir in egg mixture and drizzle in most of ice water. Using a fork or fingers, toss mixture together to moisten flour. Stir to make a soft mass and pat into a dough. Add remaining (or additional) ice water as required to make sure dough sticks together.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead very briefly into a smooth dough. Divide in dough, wrap each section, and refrigerate at least one hour (can freeze extra portions).
  • .
  • Makes enough dough for 2 9in double pie crusts plus one 8-9 inch single crust pies
  • Mel's notes: I do all my crust in a food processor. Basically follow the recipe only adding the ingredients to the food processor and pulse a few times. You don't want to overwork the dough. After the addition of the ice water, pulse until the dough comes together into a ball.
