Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold water

Pulse the shortening, sugar, salt, and 4 tablespoons of the butter in a food processor until it has the consistency of a fine meal.

Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and pulse until you have pea-sized pieces.

Sprinkle the vodka and water over the flour, and pulse until the dough just comes together.

Evenly divide the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and gently pat each into a round.

Wrap each round tightly and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour and up to overnight.
