Martha's Perfect Pie Crust

List of Ingredients




1 C All Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 Stick of Butter
1 1/2 Tbsp. Shortening
1/8 C Ice Water



Recipe



Put flour and salt in the bowl of food processor. Cut the butter and shortening into the flour. Process a few seconds until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Drop water very slowly and process briefly. The entire process should take about 20 - 30 seconds. Remove dough wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hr. Remove from refrigerator and let stand for 15 min. before rolling out. Bake in a 400 oven until done. Can be doubled for top and bottom crust.
From the 'queen of perfection', herself.
