Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour & salt. Cut in the shortening & butter until the mixture resembles small peas. Add the oil & buttermilk & mix with a spoon until all of the flour is moistened & the dough clears the side of the bowl. Divide the dough into six equal parts & shape into balls. Roll out for pie crusts or wrap in plastic wrap, flatten into thick discs & freeze. thaw before using.
