Recipe information
Yield
makes crust for 1 pot pie
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup chilled vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 1/2 tablespoons ice water, as more as needed
Preparation
Step 1
Blend the flour, parsley, thyme, salt, and sugar in a food processor until the herbs are very finely chopped. Add the butter and shortening. Blend until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Step 2
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Using a fork, mix enough ice water into the flour mixture to form moist clumps. Gather the dough into a ball; flatten into a rectangle. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
