| 1. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and shortening; rub in with cold fingers until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Mix in sugar and orange zest thoroughly.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). | 4. Roll dough out on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
