Similar Categories: Inch, Inch, Pie, Pastry
PREP TIME: About 20 minutes
MAKES: 10-inch single crust
1. In a bowl, mix 11/2 cups unbleached or regular all-purpose flour and
1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/4 cup (2 oz.) cold butter or margarine, cut
into chunks, and 1/4 cup cold solid shortening, cut into chunks (or omit
butter and use 1/2 cup shortening). With a pastry blender or your
fingers, cut in the fats or rub with your fingers until mixture forms
pea-size crumbs.
2. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons cold water over crumbs and mix with your hands
until evenly moistened. Gently squeeze about 1/4 cup of the dough into a
ball; if it won't hold together, crumble lump back into bowl, sprinkle
with 1 more tablespoon water, and mix again until evenly moistened.
3. With lightly floured hands, form dough into a ball. Dust ball lightly
with flour; flatten into a round about 3/4 inch thick, pressing edges to
make smooth.
4. On a lightly floured surface, with a lightly floured rolling pin,
roll dough firmly but gently in short strokes from the center outward to
form a round 1/8 inch thick and about 14 inches wide; lift and turn
dough occasionally, dusting underneath with more flour. If edges split
while rolling, press them back toward the center to make smooth.
5. Fold dough round in half, lift gently without stretching, and lay
folded edge across the center of a 10-inch pie pan. Unfold and ease
dough into pan. Trim edge evenly 1 inch beyond pan rim; reserve scraps
for other uses or discard. Fold edge under itself flush with rim; flute
decoratively. Cover crust and chill until ready to use.
