Ingredients

2 cups flour, all-purpose
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cups vegetable shortening
1/2 cup water ice cold

Directions

Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening thoroughly with pastry blender. Add ice water and blend until dough cleans bowl and is no longer sticky.

Divide into 2 balls. Roll out on floured board, sprinkle a little flour on top of dough to make rolling easier. Roll from center outward.

This amount makes enough for a double crust to fit a 9 inch pan.

Reviews

Fantastic and easy to do. Rolled out like a dream! Also very good if you use margarine instead of shortening.
