½ cup shortening

½ cup cold butter

2 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves

1/3 cup ice cold water

½ teaspoon vinegar

1 tsp sugar

For the crust

    • Blend together all the wet ingredients in a blender
    • Combine the dry ingredients, cut the fat into the flour mixture with a fork or dough cutter until the butter and flour form little balls coated with flour (almost resembling medium sized breadcrumbs)
    • Pour the wet onto the dry and stir with a spoon until the dough has come together (do not use hands)
    • Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
    • Roll out the dough on a floured work surface, fold in thirds and roll again place in the freezer for 5 minutes
    • Repeat the process two more times dough is smooth and cold, (may have butter streaks in it)
    • Store in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic while you make the filling.
