Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in shortening until mixture looks like coarse oatmeal.
Add water one tablespoon at a time and mix lightly with a fork until all flour is moistened.
With the hands, gather dough into a ball and divide in half.
On a lightly floured board, roll out each half in a circle 1/8-inch thick and about 1 1/2-inches larger in diameter than a pie plate.
Yield:
2 pie shells.
