3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 c. shortening
6 tbsp. water (cold)

Sift then measure flour. Resift with salt. With pastry blender work in the shortening until the mixture is pea size. Stir in 1 tablespoon at a time the water until the mixture just holds together when you make it into a ball.

Divide into 2 equal parts. Chill for 10 minutes (be sure to cover dough). Remove half of dough at a time and roll out. Keep chilled until ready to bake. Makes two 9 inch pie shells.
