Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place flour in a bowl with the sugar and salt. Cut the butter and shortening into pieces, and cut into the flour until crumbly. Mix in vanilla. Add just enough water to form a ball: it should not be sticky. Knead quickly into a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
- When ready to make pie, roll dough out as you would any crust. Do not let sit out, or handle excessively allowing to soften. Easiest to work with if firm.

Yummy!!! I used this recipe to make chocolate turnovers and the slightly sweet flavor was the perfect compliment to the chocolate. They were a huge hit.

I made this recipe with a lemon meringue pie and the result was quite nice. The flavour was great, however I found it was a little too hard. I noticed a few guests had problems cutting into it...
