5
Cut butter and shortening together using a fork or pastry whisk utensil.

Slowly add salt and flour to the butter and shortening cutting it in until the mixture looks like small crumbles.
7
Add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together.

Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.

Use a wide mouthed glass (I use a pint glass) to cut out circles.
