1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup of refrigerated Crisco Butter-flavored shortening

Mix all above ingredients in Kitchenaid style mixer on medium speed swiftly until crust appears "pea-like." Carefully sprinkle water in crust mix until it starts to become moistened and gathers together. Pat into a disc, wrap and refrigerate for at least one half hour. Roll out on to floured surface and place in 9 inch pan. Make and crimp crust. Freeze until ready to use.
