Directions

Step 1

Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter (the one I own) or two forks, cut the butter and shortening into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal (pea-sized bits with a few larger bits of fat is OK). A pastry cutter makes this step very easy and quick.
