How to Make Single Flaky Pie Crust Food Processor

  1. Combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor.
  2. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, and 1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening, cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Pulse 8-10 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Drizzle 6 teaspoons ice water over the mixture.
  5. Pulse 2-3 times, or until the dough just begins to come together. Add more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed, until the dough forms moist clumps.
  6. Gently gather the dough into a ball; do not overmix.
  7. Flatten the dough into a disk.
  8. Wrap the disk tightly in plastic wrap.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days, until firm enough to roll out.
  10. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
  11. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate.
  12. Fold the excess dough under the edges of the pie plate.
  13. Crimp the edges decoratively.
