Cook Time:2 hours
Prep Time:
Total Time:2 hours
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon Vanilla Sugar
12 tablespoon old unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup old rendered leaf lard or vegetable shortening
1/4-1/2 cup ice water
Preparation:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and Vanilla Sugar
Using two forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter and lard, making sure to leave some chunks of butter the size of peas. Stir the ice water into the flour mixture until a ball has formed.
Work quickly and do not overmix. Form the mixture into two equal-sized disks. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. The dough will be a little crumbly.
The dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
