Directions

1. Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl.
2. Add the butter and shortening. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter and shortening into the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal.
3. Add cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, and stir after each tablespoon added. Stop adding water when the dough begins to form large clumps.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Using floured hands, fold the dough into itself until the flour is incorporated.
5. Form the dough into a ball and divide in half. Flatten each half into 1-inch thick discs.
6. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using in your pie recipe.
