Single Flaky Pie Crust (Food Processor) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    3 tablespoons ice water (or more)
Preparation
    Mix flour, sugar and salt in food processor. Add butter and shortening. Using on/off pulses, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle 3 T. ice water over mixture. Process just until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into a ball; flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic; chill until dough is firm enough to roll out, about 30 minutes.
    Roll out dough on lightly floured work surface to 12-inch round. Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under. Crimp edges decoratively.
