Ingredients:

• 170g very cold unsalted butter
• 420g plain flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 15g granulated sugar
• 70g very cold vegetable shortening
• 6 to 8 tbsp (about 120ml) ice water

Procedure:

Dice butter and keep in fridge while you gather the dry ingredients. Place flour, salt, and sugar in food processor and pulse several times to mix. Add butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times until the butter is the size of peas. 

With the food processor running, add ice water and pulse until the dough begins to form a ball. Place bought on a floured surface and roll into a ball. Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate 30 min.

Cut dough in half. Place each piece on a floured surface. Roll into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to keep it from sticking.

Fold dough in half lightly, place in pie dish, unfold, and fit to the dish.
