Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, chilled
4 tablespoons shortening, chilled
5 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Place flour in a bowl with the sugar and salt. Cut the butter and shortening into pieces, and cut into the flour until crumbly. Mix in vanilla. Add just enough water to form a ball: it should not be sticky. Knead quickly into a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
  • When ready to make pie, roll dough out as you would any crust. Do not let sit out, or handle excessively allowing to soften. Easiest to work with if firm.

The pastry was a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was good.

This was the first time making sweet short pastry and it was a great success! The dough was easy to work with and the final result was delicious and delicate. I used the pastry to make a classic apple tart and it was a hit with my family.
