Perfect Pie Crust

Ingredients

  • 2 c. flour (sift, then measure)
  • 1 c. shortening
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ c. ice water

Directions

Mix flour and salt together. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until crumbly. Stir in ice water with a fork until dough holds together. Form into two rough balls. (Note: Handling too much makes dough tough) Roll out on lightly floured canvas.
