A savory pastry for a British
classic, steak and kidney pie...but it works just as well for
a pot pie, too!

and Kidney Pie Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons cold butter
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons water

a bowl and cut in butter and shortening until the mixture is
well combined. Add up to full quantity of water, a little at
a time, until the dough just holds together.
