KITCHENAID PIE PASTRY
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening, well chilled
2 tbs butter or margarine, well chilled
5 to 6 tbs cold water
Place flour and salt in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and flat beater to mixer. Turn to Stir Speed and mix about 15 seconds. Cut shortening and butter into pieces and add to flour mixture. Turn to Stir Speed and mix until shortening particles are size of small peas, 30 to 45 seconds.
Continuing on Stir Speed, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until ingredients are moistened and dough begins to hold together. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a smooth ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator 15 minutes.
Roll one half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness between sheets of waxed paper. Fold pastry into quarters. Ease into 8- or 9- inch pie plate and unfold, pressing firmly against bottom and sides.
