My Friend'S Grandmother'S No Fail Pie Crust Recipe - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. salt
1 c. shortening or lard
1/2 c. cold water

Preparation

Cut the shortening into the flour with a pastry blender. Sprinkle with salt.
Add cold water, little by little, mixing it in with a fork or with fingers until fully blended into the dough. Divide into 2 balls.
Roll each ball on flour and roll out on a board, creating a crust that fits the size of the pan.
Lay the crust at the bottom of the pie pan; trim to size.
Roll out the other ball of dough to make a crust to cover the pie.
