This is my favorite pie dough recipe...it's very flaky. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces |
6 tablespoons shortening |
3 tablespoons ice water |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Put flour in a medium bowl. Cut in butter and shortening with pastry blender or rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles small peas.
2. Put water in a cupwith ice cubes.
3. Take water out of cup with ice cubes 1 tablespoon at a time and add to crust with lemon juice.
4. Toss with a fork until evenly moistened and pastry starts to clump together.
5. Gather into a ball, and then divide in half.
6. Press each half into a disc.
7. Wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll out, or up to 3 days.
8. Bake pie crust as recipe instructs.
