Plain Pastry (Pate Brisee)

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, cake, enriched
salt, table
butter, without salt
shortening, vegetable, household, composite
water, bottled, generic

Directions:
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
Add the butter and shortening and cut them into the flour with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add the ice water quickly while tossing the flour-shortening mixture to distribute the moisture.
Continue tossing until it begins to gather itself together.
Form into a ball, divide in two and flatten each half into a thick round.
Wrap in wax paper and chill thoroughly before rolling out.
