Flaky Butter-Shortening Crust

A flaky pie crust combining all-purpose flour and almond flour with sugar and salt. Uses a mix of butter and coconut oil instead of traditional butter and shortening, for extra flavor and flakiness. Ice-cold water added sparingly for crispness. Dough chilled and rested for easy rolling, with guidelines for single or double crusts, including size tips. Blind baking with weights to control shrinkage; options for partial or full bake with visual and tactile cues emphasized. Practical notes for handling dry dough and preventing cracked edges.
