Instructions: Makes enough dough for a single crust 9-inch pie. In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut butter first into the flour mixture and then the shortening. Sprinkle the water into the flour mixture 1 T at a time while stirring it with a fork to evenly distribute the water. Use just enough water to moisten the dough until the dough clumps together. It should not be damp or sticky.

With hands, gather dough into a ball. Flatten into a 4 inch round, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour before rolling out.
