How to Make Pie Crust

3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (you can replace ½ cup with whole wheat flour)

¼ cup (50g) sugar

1 ½ teaspoons salt

2 ½ sticks (283g) very cold (frozen is good) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces (*if you are using Kerrygold or other European or European-style butter, you don’t need the extra vegetable shortening. See my Apple Galette IGTV video for more explanation.)

note: ⅓ cup (63g) frozen vegetable shortening cut into tablespoon-sized pieces

About ½ cup ice water - have more on the ready just in case

Egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water)

Sugar for sprinkling
