Ingredients:

3.5 c of flour (all-purpose)
1 c of cheese (Cheddar); shredded
1/2 c of butter (unsalted); softened
2 Tbsps of white sugar
1.5 c of solid shortening (vegetable)
1/2 c of iced water
1/2 tsp of salt

Instructions:

Sift the flour; set it aside. Cream butter and cheese in bowl ’til smooth. Mix the shortening gently into the cheese mix ’til combined slightly. By use of hands, cut the flour in to the cheese mix ’til a coarse-meal is resembled.

Dissolve sugar and salt into iced water then add the water gradually into the cheese mix. Blend by use of hands ’til a compact ball can be formed. Remember not to over-mix. Then, divide the dough to two balls, then seal into cling wrap.

Chill about half an hour or more before dough is rolled out. Once chilled, roll out every ball to 1/8-inch thick on lightly-floured surface, into size two inches bigger than pie pan. Once the base piecrust becomes fitted in the pan, trim the edges.
