Comment préparer Aida's Single Pie Crust
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening (keep it in the freezer for extra flakiness!), cutting it in until just combined. Crumbs don't need to be uniform.
- Gradually add 6-8 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together to form a ball.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes (Aida's tip: Use the full 60 minutes for resting; this is key for flakiness!).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired size (slightly larger than your 9-10" pie plate).
- Carefully transfer the dough to the pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking sheet on the oven rack before preheating.
- Carefully place the pie plate on the hot baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
