Ingredients

1 servings

3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
7 tbsp unsalted cold butter (cubed)
7 tbsp shortening (cubed)
⅔ to 1 cup ice cold water

Instructions

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl with a whisk.
Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles the size of peas.
Add ice cold water a tablespoon at a time to one area of the dough and mix with a fork. Move to one side of the bowl and continue adding water just until dough is moistened (you don't want it to be sticky).
Once mixed use your hands to quickly and gently fold over the dough a couple of times. Divide into two balls.
Roll one of the balls into a 12" circle on a lightly floured surface.
Gently roll the dough onto a rolling pin and unroll over a 9" pie pan. Cut the edges so you have about ½" overhang.
Crimp the edges and bake according to recipe directions.
