For an extra layer of flavor, try using browned butter shortening. Simply melt the shortening in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Allow it to cool completely before using in the recipe. When rolling out the dough, work on a lightly floured surface and use a gentle touch to prevent tearing. If the dough becomes too warm and sticky, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes to chill. To prevent the crust from puffing up during baking, prick the bottom of the crust with a fork several times before adding the filling. For a golden-brown crust, brush the top with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking. You can also sprinkle it with coarse sugar for added sweetness and sparkle.

01 Step
Recipe View 2 mins In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Transfer 1/2 cup of the flour mixture to a small bowl. Gradually stir in the ice water, creating a smooth, slurry-like consistency. This hydrated flour mixture will contribute to the crust's exceptional tenderness. (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 8 mins Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the shortening into the remaining dry flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-sized clumps of shortening. This creates pockets of fat that, when melted during baking, will yield a beautifully flaky crust. (8 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Gently blend in the wet flour mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can develop the gluten and result in a tough crust. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View 45 mins Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a flat disk, wrap securely in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 45 minutes, or up to 3 days. This chilling period allows the gluten to relax, further enhancing the crust's tenderness and workability. (45 minutes +)
