1 1/2 cups of flour 6 tablespoons of butter 2 tablespoons of margarine 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2/3 tablespoons of ice water
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut very cold butter and margarine into small pieces and add to the flour. Use two knives or a pastry cutter and cut the butter mixture into the flour as quickly ass possible. You can use your fingers if it's easier. You want to get it mixed well before the fat gets too soft. When it resembles bread crumbs, stir in the water. Form into a ball and chill for about 20 minutes before rolling out and lining a 9 inch pie pan.
