Pie Crust

Desserts
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1½ teaspoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-in cubes

  • ½ cup chilled lard or frozen nonhydrogenated solid vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-in cubes

  • 5 tablespoons (or more) ice water

Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and lard; using on/off turns, blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add 5 tablespoon ice water and mix with fork until dough begins to clump together, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough together. Divide dough in half; flatten each half into disk. Wrap each disk in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. If necessary, soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
