Recipe Summary British Shortcrust Pie Pastry

Many British recipes call for shortcrust pastry. This makes a great alternative to pre-made crusts. Because it is so easy to make in batches, I make extra to freeze for later use. This pastry dough can also be kept in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Ingredients | British Airways Wings

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup chilled butter

¼ cup shortening

4 tablespoons ice water, or more as needed

Directions

Combine flour, butter, and shortening using a food processor until crumbly. Mix in water 1 tablespoon at at time until dough is soft and pliable.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap; let rest in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.

For a savory pie, you can add some salt and 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard. Or for a sweet pie, you can add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

You can use all butter in place of shortening, but not all shortening in place of butter.
