Many British recipes call for shortcrust pastry for a tender and crumbly crust in sweet pies, tarts, or savory quiches. Because it is so easy to make in batches, I make extra to freeze for later use.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cups chilled butter , cut into pieces
  • 0.25 cups shortening
  • 4 tablespoons ice water , or more as needed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine flour, butter, and shortening in a food processor; pulse until crumbly. Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at at time, until dough is soft and pliable.

  2. 2

    Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
