Preparation:
1) Whisk the flour and salt together in a medium size bowl. With a pastry
blender, cut in the cold shortening until the mixture resembles coarse
crumbs.
Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water over flour. Toss mixture with a fork to
moisten, adding more water a few drops at a time until the dough comes
together.
2) Gently gather dough particles together into a ball. Wrap in plastic
wrap,
and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
3) Roll out dough, and put in a pie plate. Fill with desired filling and
bake. |
