A terrific all-purpose pie crust from Elinor Klivans. Use it during the holiday season and all year long. Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
2 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
3 tablespoons (or more) ice water |
Directions:
1. Mix flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle 3 tablespoons ice water over mixture. Process just until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill until dough is firm enough to roll out, about 30 minutes.
2. Roll out dough on lightly floured work surface to 12-inch round. Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under. Crimp edges decoratively. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
