Ingredients
- 1Â 3/4 c. flour
- 10 Tbsp. butter chilled
- 3 Tbsp. shortening chilled
- 1/3 c. ice water
- 1 x egg beaten
Directions
- Blend flour & shortening till mix resembles coarse meal. Add in a little water & mix till dough just starts to come together. Gather into ball & divide in half. Shape each half into a ball, flour lightly & wrap in plastic. If you are making one single-crust pie, freeze one ball of pastry for another time. Refrigeratethe pastry you are using for 2 hrs.
- Roll out pastry & ease into a 9" pie pan. If you are making a double-crust pie, roll out top crust.
- TO BAKE BEFORE FILLING: Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Prick the bottom of dough proportionately all over with the tines of a fork. Cover the dough w/buttered foil, placing buttered side against the bottom crust. Fill with rice or possibly beans. These may be saved & used again for baking unfilled pie shells. Bake for 15 min, or possibly till set. Remove foil, brush with egg & bake 5 min longer, or possibly till golden brown. Let cold before filling.
