1. Weigh your flour, or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess., In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt., Add the shortening, working it in until the mixture is evenly crumbly, like coarse beach sand; you want everything thoroughly combined.
2. Cut the butter into small (about 1/2") cubes., Add the butter to the flour mixture, and work it in roughly with your fingers, a pastry cutter, or a mixer. Don't be too thorough; the mixture should be quite uneven, with big chunks of butter in among the smaller ones. People get nervous about pie crust, and in their anxiety they tend to work the dough too much. Working the butter in completely makes a mealy crust rather than a flaky one.
3. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of water over the flour mixture, tossing gently to combine.
4. Add enough additional water to make a chunky, fairly cohesive mixture. It should hold together when you gather a bit up and squeeze it in your hand. Beware of kneading the pastry too much and/or adding too much water, as this will toughen the crust.

1. Whisk together the keto wheat flour and salt.
2. Dice the butter into small cubes, or cut it into pats. Work it into the flour until the mixture resembles bread crumbs; it should be mostly uniform.
3. Add the ice water, tossing until the dough starts to clump together.
4. Dump the crumbly mixture onto a work surface and pat it together into a rough disk. Fold one side of the dough over the other the best you can; it may break or crumble, which is OK. Repeat the patting and folding several times until the dough holds together.
