  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp ice water
  • 2 tsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • Stir flour, salt and sugar together.
  • Cut in chilled shortening and cold butter using a pastry blender or fork until dough resembles pea sized crumbles.
  • Slowly add ice cold water mixing with a fork until the dough just holds together.
  • Divide dough in half and form two small flat round disks. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in fridge until you are ready to use. Up to 24 hours. *If you don't plan on using right away freeze wrapped dough in a freezer bag for up to 6 months.

Notes

*If you don’t plan on using right away freeze wrapped dough in a freezer bag for up to 6 months.
*When you are ready to use the dough, lightly flour a pastry mat and using a rolling pin, roll each pie dough into a 9″ round. Place in a lightly greased pie dish. Then, simply follow recipe instructions for the pie you are making.
