Categories     Pies & Tarts

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups (9 oz, 252g) all purpose flour (see note)
2/3 cup (4 oz, 112g) rye flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup (4 oz, 115g) vegetable shortening
1/2 cup (4 oz, 115g) butter, very cold and sliced into 1/4" thin slices
1/2 cup (4 oz, 118 ml) ice cold water

Steps:

  • Combine the all purpose and rye flour with the salt, pepper and sugar. Whisk together to mix the ingredients evenly.
  • Using your fingers, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse corn meal. Using your fingers, toss the butter into the flour mixture. Allow the slices of butter to break up into slightly smaller pieces into the flour. Work quickly so the butter doesn't get warm. Don't break the butter down completely. There should be some large flakes remaining.
  • Pour the water onto the flour all at once and toss to combine. Knead the dough just until it comes together.
  • Wrap the dough and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before using.

Time 25m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rye flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
13 tablespoons butter, cold, cut up (1 stick plus 5 tablespoons(or use 1/2 cup shortening and 5 tablespoons butter)
4 -7 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Place flours and salt in food processor work bowl and pulse for 2 seconds to combine.
  • Add butter. Pulse 3-4 times, 2-3 seconds each time, or until mixture is crumbly.
  • Sprinkle in water, a tablespoon at a time, pulsing briefly after each addition, until mixture pulls away from the side of the work bowl and starts to form a ball. I find that 4 tablespoons water is usually enough, but you can add up to 3 more if your mixture is dry--just don't let it get too wet and sticky.
  • Remove from bowl and form into two balls.
  • Flatten each ball slightly.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 10 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball out into a circle.
  • Use in any savory recipe that calls for pie crusts.
