Almost like Marie Calendar's

Here is a very yummy pie crust recipe:

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1 1/4 cups flour
1 TBS sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg yolk
2 TBS ice water
1/2 tsp vinegar

Beat together butter and shortening (fats), and chill. Sift together flour, sugar, salt (dry). Cut fats into dry with pastry blender or fork. Mix together egg yolk, ice water, and vinegar (wet). Add wet to dry/fat mixture, mix until dough ball forms. Refrigerate for 1 hr. Roll out dough between 2 pieces of wax paper. This makes one 8-9" pie shell, double recipe for a bottom/top crust pie. If making a top crusted pie: Beat 1 egg, add water until light yellow in color. Brush this on top crust before baking. Will make an absolutely beautiful pie.
