5 to 7tablespoonsice water
Instructions
Combine the flour and salt in a bowl.
Cut the butter and shortening into small cubes. Add the butter and shortening to the flour and cut it in with your hands or a pastry cutter until it resembles a very coarse meal.
Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork. Stop adding water and mixing when the dough comes together into a ball.
Divide the dough in half, form each half into a round disc, and wrap in plastic. Chill for 30 minutes in the fridge.
Shape and bake the unfilled pie crust for 15–20 minutes at 450ºF.
