1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

½ teaspoon kosher salt

6 tablespoon cold butter, cubed

3 tablespoons cold shortening, cubed

4-5 tablespoons ice water
Directions:
Directions:
Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined, 3 or 4 pulses. Add cubed butter and shortening; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 pulses. Drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water over mixture. Pulse until dough clumps together, 4 or 5 pulses, adding up to 1 tablespoon more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary. Gently shape dough into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle (about 1/8 inch thick) on a flour surface. Fit into a lightly greased (with cooking spray) 9-inch pie plate, and crimp edges. Prick bottom and sides with a fork. Line pastry with parchment paper; fill with pie weights or dried beans.

Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes. Remove weights and parchment; bake until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer crust to a wire rack; cool completely, about 8 minutes.
