Apple Dumpling Dough with Butter and Lard

• portions: 8 apple dumplings
• temps actif: 45 minutes
• temps total: 2 hours

Ingrédients

390 Gm All-Purpose Flour

6 Gm Diamond Crystal salt

78 Gm Lard

147 Gm (10.4 Tbsp) unsalted butter, cubed and frozen

129 - 185 Gm ice water

Instructions

To make the crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Work in the shortening until the mixture is evenly crumbly. Dice the butter into 1/2" pieces, and cut into the mixture until you have flakes of butter the size of a dime.

Add the water 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing with a fork as you sprinkle the water into the dough. When the dough is moist enough to hold together when you squeeze it, transfer it to a piece of wax or parchment paper. It's OK if there are some dry spots in the pile. Use a spray bottle of water to lightly spritz these places; that way you'll add just enough water to bring the dough together without creating a wet spot.

Fold the dough over on itself three or four times to bring it together, then divide it into two pieces. Pat each piece of dough into a square about 3/4" thick.

Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
