Best Pie Crust Ever!

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar, approximately
• 1 teaspoon salt, approximately
• 1/2 lb cold butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup shortening, approximately
• 6 tablespoons ice-cold water, varies...depending on the day

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in the *magical* pie dough transformer (food processor).
2. PULSE these ingredients together only slightly. Too much pulsing causes excess friction which melts the butter and creates a dense, yucky pie dough.
3. Gradually add the ice cold water while pulsing. Dough should just start to come together but will still seem somewhat dry. Pea-sized butter chunks are what makes the world go 'round.
4. Pour/dump dough out, combine and knead gently & slightly, just to bring dough together.
5. Divide into two rounds & freeze/chill until ready to use.
6. Whenever possible, thaw dough to room temp., but you can cut frozen dough into large chunks & microwave CAREFULLY.
7. Remember to declare your love to the dough -- this always makes the best pies.
