| all-purpose flour | 1 1/2 cups | |
| sugar | 1 Tbsp | |
| salt | 1/4 tsp | |
| vegetable shortening | 1/3 cup | frozen - cut into 1/4 inch cubes |
| unsalted butter | 3 Tbsps | frozen- cut into 1/4 inch cubes |
| water | 1/4 cup | ice cold |
| egg yolk | 1 | |
| cider vinegar | 1/2 tsp |
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the all purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients.
- With the mixer on begin to add the frozen cubed vegetable shortening and butter. It should resemble little pellets of flour.
- Whisk together the ice cold water, egg yolk, and cider vinegar.
- Using a fork begin to mix the dry ingredients. Drizzle in small amounts of the liquid mixture and continue to mix. You will end up with a loose dough. Gather up the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
- On a flour dusted surface roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Place the dough within your pie tin allowing it to hang over the edge by 1 inch. Cut off the excess. Flute the edges.
