1 lb cleaned jumbo lump crabmeat (fresh, not frozen)

To make the dough, put chilled butter, shortening, flour, and salt in a mixer with a paddle attached.
Mix on medium until blended, about 3-4 minutes.
(It will look like cornmeal.) Then add the water.
As soon as the dough comes together, turn the mixer off.
This should only take about 10 seconds.
(Do not over mix) Take dough out of machine and chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Prepare the custard by mixing all ingredients together.
Roll out dough to about 1/4-inch thick.
Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
Sprinkle 1/2 of each cheese on the bottom.
Add crab meat.
Sprinkle herbs over crab meat.
Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
Pour custard over all the ingredients almost to the top of the pie dish.
Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 325 degrees F.
Let stand 30 minutes before serving.
