Mix together flour, salt, and sugar (if using).

Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or your fingers until it looks like wet sand.

Add the cold butter, cutting it in until mixture is clumpy.

There should be both larger and smaller chunks of butter within the mixture.

Add water and mix well with a spoon or your hands.

Dough should come together into a rough ball. Knead a few times just to smooth.

Shape into a disc and wrap in plastic. Chill 30 minutes or until ready to use.

Roll out to desired size (about 12 inches for a standard pie).

Fold over and transfer to your pie plate, then crimp as desired!
