Short Pastry Crust

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

1. Pulse the flour, salt, butter, and shortening in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
2. With the processor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup water until the dough just comes together.
3. (If the dough is still crumbly, add up to 1/4 cup more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.)
4. Do not process for more than 20 seconds.
5. Divide the dough in half; wrap each in plastic.
6. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
