Myrna’s Pie Dough
Makes 1 disk

1 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up and chilled
4 tablespoons shortening or lard, scored and frozen (See description below)
¼ cup water
1 ice cube
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Cut the butter into small cubes and refrigerate. Spread the shortening or lard on a piece of foil about ¼ inch thick and score it with a table knife to make a grid of lines, then freeze it. This will form cubes of shortening, once chilled and hardened. Place an ice cube in a one cup measure and add enough water to bring it up to ¼ a cup then add the vinegar to this and set aside to chill and melt.

In a mixer with a paddle attachment, place the flour, salt, sugar, chilled cut up butter and frozen shortening (bend the foil back to cause the shortening to release from the foil) and mix on low till the fat pieces are the size of large peas. Add the ice water/vinegar and turn the mixer on and count to 25 then turn the mixer off. Form the dough into a disk and chill at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.

On a floured surface with a rolling pin, roll out one piece of dough and line a 9 inch pie pan with it, gently easing the dough into the corners of the pie pan, leaving the edges overhanging. Fold the edge over to thicken and crimp decoratively. Chill till ready to use.
