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

Fruit Slaw
A unique twist on an old favorite. Strawberries, pineapple, galia melon, honeydew, and red grapes julienned and finished with lemon and lime juice. The small pieces allow you to get a burst of the combined fruits in one amazing bite.
Date Turnovers
I perfected this recipe for folded date-filled cookies after a few not-so-perfect batches. I have been making these cookies for several years, and everyone loves them.
