Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoon water, cold
• 4 tablespoons butter, cold and divided into 4 pieces (1 tbsp each)
• tablespoons vegetable shortening (butter flavored shortening can also be used)

 

Instructions

1. Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl and mix them using a balloon whisk.
2. Add the butter and shortening then mix using a pastry blender
3. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time while mixing until all the ingredients are properly distributed.
4. Gather the dough and shape into a ball then press to flatten. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
5. Roll the dough in a clean flat surface until the area is enough for your 9 inch round cake pan. Always sprinkle flour on your work area and rolling pin so that the dough won’t stick.
6.  Arrange the flattened dough on your cake pan. You may want to refrigerate this for 20 minutes until the texture becomes firm.
7.  You may now fill this with your favorite pie filling.
