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 shortcrust pastry dough can also be kept in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
  • chilled butter: 0.25 cup (cut into pieces)
  • shortening: 0.25 cup
  • ice water: 4 Tbsp (or more if needed)
