Pie Crust
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
6 to 7 Tablespoon of ice water
Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut the fats into the dry as quickly as possible handling the dough as little as possible. Toss in the cold water using a fork to "fluff" the mixture adding only enough water for the dough to hold together. Press the dough together with your hands quickly and wrap it in wax paper and refrigerate it for at least an hour. Makes two crusts.
