Pie Crusts - 3
What you need:

What you do:
Mix the flour and salt together. Cut in the oil and shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until it crumbles. Stir in the water with a fork until mixture begins to form a ball or small balls.
Roll out 1/3 of the mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap. Invert pie plate on top, slide hand under the plastic wrap, and turn over letting the dough fall into the pie plate. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
This pie crust was very good. I used canola oil instead of olive and used earth balance margarine instead of shorting. I made an apple pie with it and i reccomend this crust.
