Pate Brisee2

Directions

1. 1
   Cut butter and shortening into the flour.
2. 2
   Dissolve the sugar in the iced water, then dribble into the flour while mixing.
3. 3
   Knead it on a floured surface (wax paper doesn't work too well with this dough) until you see no lumps of butter or shortening.
4. 4
   Divide so you can work with only portions of the dough.
5. 5
   Refrigerate for two hours, before filling as a pie or cookie.
