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

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.
