Easy Pie Crust - 3 Ways
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold, cubed shortening
- 1/2 cup cold, cubed butter
- 4 tablespoons ice water
Instructions:
- Whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Cut the cold shortening and butter into the flour mixture into cubes.
- Use a pastry blender or fork to combine the mixture until it forms pea-sized bits and looks like wet sand.
- Add the ice water and use a fork to continue mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Use your hands to form the dough into two, flattened discs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, minimum before using or freeze up to 4 weeks.
