Steps

30 mins

1

Cut shortening into flour and salt with a pastry cutter or two knives. Mixture will be crumbly when properly cut in.
2

Add 6 tablespoons ice water.
3

Shape into a ball by first folding dough toward middle of bowl with a cake spatula. (Don't handle dough any more than necessary as your hands will heat dough making it hard to work with.)
4

Place half dough ball onto floured cutting board, countertop, or mat and roll into a circle larger than top rim of pie pan. Repeat with other half.
5

This recipe makes one double crust pie or two single crust pies. For filled pies such as lemon meringue, coconut cream, or chocolate cream, bake empty crust at 425°F for 15 -18 minutes before filling.
