1 tsp salt
8 tbsp butter, cold cubed
8 tbsp shortening, cold cubed
6 tbsp ice water
2 tsp sugar (optional)

Directions:

Place flour and salt in food processor. Pulse 2-3 seconds.
Add butter and shortening to flour.
Pulse until fat is reduced to tiny pieces.
With motor running, drizzle ice water through feed tube.

Divide in 2 flat disks.
Cover each with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator at least 30 minutes before rolling.

Tips:.
It is essential the butter, shortening and water be ice cold.
Use minimal amount of water and take care not to overprocess after adding it.
