1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt

In medium bowl with fork, stir flour with salt.
With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle cold water into flour mixture, a tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with fork after each addition, until pastry is just moist enough to hold together. Press to bottom and side of 9-inch pie plate.
