"This is a good crust for meat pies; every time I've made it, it comes out tender and flaky. It makes enough for one double-crust or two single crust pies."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place flours and salt in food processor work bowl and pulse for 2 seconds to combine.
Step 2
Add butter. Pulse 3-4 times, 2-3 seconds each time, or until mixture is crumbly.
Step 3
Sprinkle in water, a tablespoon at a time, pulsing briefly after each addition, until mixture pulls away from the side of the work bowl and starts to form a ball. I find that 4 tablespoons water is usually enough, but you can add up to 3 more if your mixture is dry--just don't let it get too wet and sticky.
Step 4
Remove from bowl and form into two balls.
Step 5
Flatten each ball slightly.
Step 6
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball out into a circle.
Step 8
Use in any savory recipe that calls for pie crusts.
