Time 10m

Yield about 3/4 pound

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt if desired
1/2 cup solid white vegetable shortening
4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
2 to 3 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, salt, shortening and butter in a mixing bowl, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  • Using the fingers, blend the ingredients until they have the consistency of coarse cornmeal. Work quickly.
  • Add the water a little at a time, tossing the mixture with the tines of a fork. Take care not to add an excess of water, only enough so the pastry can be gathered into two cohesive balls. Shape each ball into a flat patty, each about 3/4-inch thick. Wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate an hour or longer.

I made this pastry gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. It turned out really well!

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown, but the filling was still delicious.

This pastry was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I might have added too much sugar.

This is the best pastry recipe I've ever tried! The crust was flaky and golden brown, and the filling was perfectly sweet and tart. I will definitely be making this again.
