Ingredients:  
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine
1/2 cup crisco
1 egg
1 Tbsp white vinegar
3 to 4 Tbsp ice water
Directions:
Directions:
in a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the margarine and shortening. Keep working the flour and shortening until the mixture is rather grainy, like coarse cornmeal. Mix the egg and vinegar together and using a wooden fork, stir the mixture into the flour. Add enough of the ice water so that the dough barely holds together. Place on a marble pastry board or a plastic counter top and need for just a few turns, enough so that the dough holds together and becomes rollable. I roll out my dough on a piece of wax paper. It is easy to handle that way. If you have a marble rolling pin, the rolling out will be easy. If you use a wooden one, be sure to dust a tsp of flour on it a couple of times when you are rolling out the dough.
