Prep Time
45 min
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6-10 tablespoons cold water as needed
Instructions
- Combine flour with salt.
- Cut in butter and shortening until mixture is a roughly even crumbly texture.
- Add lemon juice and water and blend just until dough comes together.
- Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- May be made in a food processor.
Notes
- Lattice Top
- Roll out second piece of dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using a pastry wheel or paring knife, cut 10 strips of dough 3/4 inch wide.
- To build the lattice top, place 5 strips side by side on top of the fruit filling, leaving 1/2 inch of space between each.
- Fold back 3 alternate strips of dough halfway. Place a centre cross strip laying over the 2 flat strips of dough.
- Return the 3 folded strips to their flat position. Repeat with remaining strips of dough alternating between 2 and three strips.
