This is a great crust!!
2.5 cups of all purpose flour
2 tb. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1.5 cups butter, chilled and cubed
1/2 cup coconut oil, chilled and solid. or you could use any solid shortening but we loved coconut.
6 tb buttermilk
Combine the dry ingredients then add the butter and shortening. Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut the solid fats into the flour until the mix resembles oatmeal. Add the buttermilk and mix it with a fork until it begins sticking to its self, then lightly knead it with your hands long enough to form a ball. split it in half and wrap each half separately, then stick them in the fridge for anywhere from an hour to a day. Remove from the fridge and let stand at room temperature until workable, then knead a bit, roll out on a floured surface, and use in your pie.
