Ingredients

• 2 1/2 C flour
• 1/2 C butter
• 1/2 C shortening
• pinch of salt
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• ice cold water, added 1 Tbsp. at a time

Directions

• 1. Place all ingredients in a bowl (start with 2 Tablespoon water).
• 2. Use a fork or dough blender (theyre called different names, I have a photo and a link below to show you one!) and mix dough until crumbly. Youll sort of cut the dough rather than stir, and keep adding a little water at a time until you can form a ball with your hands. You just dont want to add too much water!
• 3. Split dough in two and form two balls.
• 4. Take one dough ball and place it on a large pice of parchment paper (see photo directions).
• 5. Cover with another piece of large parchment and use a rolling pint to flatten into a large circle.
• 6. Peel off the top layer of parchment, then gently flip the pie crust (with bottom parchment still on) onto your pie pan.
• 7. Peel off parchment and press pie crust into pan.
