How to make it

  • Combine the first 4 ingredients in a food processor and pulse until well combined
  • Add the butter and the shortening. proces until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Combine the egg yolk with water and mix well before adding to the flour mixture. Processuntil mixture forms into a ball.
  • Remove from the processor and flatten the dough into a disk. wrap with a plastic film and chill for at least an hour or overnight
  • Preheat oven to 400F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out chilled dough into a 10" inch round pie or any desired size. Add flour as neededto prevent dough from sticking to the surface.
