- Sift flour and salt together into bowl.
- Cut chilled shortening into flour until particles are about the size of a pea.
- Add just enough water, a tablespoon at a time, to form a dough which will clean the bowl.
- Divide into 2 balls of dough.
- Roll dough on floured board, fold and refold, and roll again.
- Continue until dough is smooth.
- Handle quickly but gently.
- This crust is good for pre-bake recipes as well as filled pies.
- (The main thing to remember-use chilled shortening and ice water.).
