CRUST:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
3 tablespoons butter or stick margarine
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup buttermilk
1. Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening and butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until particles are size of small peas.
2. Mix in oil and buttermilk with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry leaves side of bowl. Divide in half; shape each half into a ball. If making one-crust pie, wrap second ball of pastry and freeze for later use.
3 This crust can just be patted into the pie pan. NO rolling needed!! (my favorite part)
