Pampered Chef'S Pie Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
6 tablespoons cold butter
5 -7 tablespoons ice cold water

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, mixing well.
Cut in the shortening and butter until the crumbles are the pea size.
Sprinkle 1 tbps water over the flour mixture and gently mix with a fork. Continue adding tablespoons of water until moist enough to form a ball-do not over work the dough or it will get tough.
Form the dough into 2 balls and flatten to 1/2\" thickness. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
