2 c. all-purpose flour
pinch salt
1/2 c. shortening

In Bowl #1 (larger bowl): Mix flour and pinch salt. Remove 1/3 of this mixture and place in bowl #2. Add shortening by cutting with cutting tool or fingers to the remaining flour in bowl #1. Cut to a real fine consistency.

In Bowl #2 (smaller bowl): Add 1/4 cup ice water to the flour/salt mixture initially removed from bowl #1. Make a paste of this ice water and 1/3 flour/salt mixture. (Note: MAY need to add a little more water to get to paste stage). Add paste mixture in bowl #2 to the flour/salt/shortening mixture in bowl #1. Roll out in one direction (roll toward you). Place in 10-inch glass pie plates.

Yield: 2 pie crusts. May freeze one crust.
