America'S Test Kitchen Pumpkin Pie Pt. 2

1. Process 3/4 cup flour, salt, and sugar in food processor until combined, about two 1-second pulses. Add butter and shortening and process until dough collects in uneven clumps, about 10 seconds; dough will resemble cottage cheese curds. Add remaining 1/2 cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed, 4 to 6 quick pulses. Empty mixture into medium bowl.

2. Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. Fold, pressing down on dough until dough is slightly tacky and sticks together. Flatten dough into 4-inch disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 45 minutes.

3. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 400. Roll out dough on generously floured work surface to 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Put dough in pie plate and refrigerate 15 minutes.

4. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch beyond lip of pie plate. Fold overhang under itself; folded edge should be flush with edge of pie plate. Flute edge of dough. Refrigerate about 15 minutes.

5. Remove pie pan from refrigerator, line crust with foil, and fill with pie weights. Bake on rimmed baking sheet 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights, rotate plate, and bake 5 to 10 additional minutes until crust is golden brown and crisp. Remove pie plate and baking sheet from oven.
