How to cook deliciously - Flaky Food Processor Pie Crust

1. Stage

Measure flour into the processor with the regular blade attached. Add chilled and cubed shortening and unsalted butter. Add salt, close the lid, and pulse three times with three counts per pulse to lightly mix the ingredients.

2. Stage

With the motor running, pour ice water into the food processor bowl just until the dough just starts to get noticeably crumbly. Don't wait until it is a big clump or it will be way too wet and will turn out tough.

3. Stage

Transfer the crumbly dough into a bowl, and form it into a ball with your hand, squeezing it a bit to make it stick together. If it just won't form a ball, add a tiny bit more water.

4. Stage

Wrap dough in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill it for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Follow your pie recipe for rolling and baking.
