Sweet Short Pastry

"A sweet shortbread-type pie crust. Goes well with fruit pies."

Ingredients :

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
4 tablespoons shortening, chilled
5 tablespoons ice water

Instructions :

Prep :	Cook : 8M	Ready in :

Place flour in a bowl with the sugar and salt. Cut the butter and shortening into pieces, and cut into the flour until crumbly. Mix in vanilla. Add just enough water to form a ball: it should not be sticky. Knead quickly into a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
When ready to make pie, roll dough out as you would any crust. Do not let sit out, or handle excessively allowing to soften. Easiest to work with if firm.
