In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Mix in the sugar. Add half of the margarine and shortening, 1/2 T at a time, cutting it into the flour with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the flour mixture appears pebbly. Add remaining margarine and shortening, cutting it into the flour.
In a cup, combine 4 T of the ice water with the apple cider vinegar. Drizzle it into the flour by the tablespoonful, gently mixing the flour after each addition. Gently knead the dough a few times, adding more water until it holds together. You may only need the 4 T water, but add up to 2 T more if necessary.
Divide the dough in half and place one portion on a lightly floured board. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. For a uniform circle, roll the pin 1 to 2 strokes outward, turn the dough a few degrees, roll a few times more, and repeat. Repeat with remaining half of the the dough and use as directed in recipe.
