Ingredients:  
2-1/2 C. All-Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
3 Tbsp. Sugar
1/4 C. Shortening, Cold
12 Tbsp. Butter, Cold and cubed

Directions:
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Add the shortening and break it up with a pastry cutter as you start to coat it all up with the flour. Add the cold butter cubes and work it into the flour with a pastry cutter. Work it quickly, so the butter doesn't get too soft, until the mixture is crumbly. Add the ice water, a little at a time, until the mixture comes together forming a dough. Bring the dough together into a ball.
When it comes together stop working it, otherwise the dough will get over-worked and tough. Divide the dough in half and flatten it slightly to form a round disc. Wrap each disc in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
On a floured surface roll each disc out into a 10-11-inch circle to make a
9-inch pie.
