Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup vegetable shortening
½ cup ice water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Measure flours, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder into a bowl; stir together. Cut in shortening with 2 knives until a coarse meal forms. Sprinkle water over mixture. Stir with a spoon until a ball begins to form.
Divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll out into rounds between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Transfer to two 9-inch pie plates.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

This recipe also works with a mixture of vegetable shortening and vegetable oil.

Instead of waxed paper, you can cut open large resealable plastic bags and lightly flour them. Roll dough between them.
