Pie Pastry

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup cold vegetable shortening
• 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

1. Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
2. Add the butter and shortening; pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 times.
3. With the processor running, pour in the vinegar, then 1/4 cup ice water; process just until the dough comes together.
4. (If the dough is still crumbly, add up to 1/4 more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.)
5. Pat the dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic.
6. Refrigerate the dough until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
7. The dough can also be frozen up to 1 month; thaw completely in the refrigerator.
