Comment préparer Uncle Bill's Pie Pastry That Is Flaky

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed, and 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, also chilled and cubed, using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times until it forms a cohesive ball. Avoid over-kneading.
Form the dough into a flat disk, about 3/4 inch thick. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
Lightly flour a large piece of parchment paper.
Place the chilled dough disk on the floured parchment paper. Roll out into a 13-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Use gentle, even pressure to avoid tearing.
Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate using the parchment paper. Gently ease the dough into the plate, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides.
Trim and crimp the edges decoratively.
Prick the bottom and sides of the crust all over with a fork to prevent air bubbles and puffing during baking.
Line the crust with a piece of aluminum foil and fill with pie weights (dried beans or rice).
Refrigerate the pie shell for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the pie shell from the refrigerator. Bake for 20 minutes with the weights.
Carefully remove the foil and weights. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Let the pie shell cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
