  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/3           cup  vegetable shortening -- chilled
  3        tablespoons  ice water
  1                cup  flour -- sifted
     1/4      teaspoon  salt
 

Preparation:

In a medium bowl, cut the shortening into the flour and salt until the mixture forms crumbs. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you can form the mixture into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. The pie shell can be filled at this point or pricked with a fork on the sides and bottom and prebaked for 10 minutes in a 450-degree oven. (Allow the prebaked pie shell to cool before filling.) 8 servings/Serving size:
