1. 1

   Mix together flour & salt. Cut in shortening until particles are the size of tiny peas. Sprinkle on water a tablespoon at a time. Mix only enough for dough to come away from sides of bowl. Form into ball/s. This dough does not require chilling, although it may rest in refrigerator until needed.

2. 2

   Roll out pastry & ease into pie pan. If you are making a double crust pie, roll out top crust.
