<human>:  How to make the perfect pie crust?
<bot>: The perfect pie crust starts with good quality ingredients. You'll need 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cold butter, 1/4 cup shortening, 4-5 tablespoons of cold water. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the cold water, just until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place the dough in the pan. Trim the dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Crimp or flute the dough. Refrigerate the crust again until ready to fill. Now you have the perfect pie crust!
