1 3/4 cups (430 ml) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt

1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar

10 tablespoons (150 ml) unsalted butter, very cold, cut into pieces

2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable shortening, very cold, cut into pieces

1/4 to 1/3 cup (60 to 75 ml) ice water

Milk, for brushing

In the bowl of a food processor, place the flour and salt. Pulse for a second, just to combine. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse for a few seconds at a time until the mixture has a grainy texture. Add 60 ml (1/4 cup) of ice water.

Pulse again and add a little water, if necessary, until a ball starts to form. Remove the dough from the food processor and make a ball with your hands.

Dredge in flour then cover in plastic wrap. Let stand for about an hour in the refrigerator.
