Ingredients
    2 cups flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    2/3 cup shortening
    5 tablespoons ice water

    Mix flour and salt in food processor.
    Add shortening and mix until shortening is cut into pea size pieces.
    While pulsing the food processor, drizzle in a tablespoon of water at a time, just until the dough forms a ball.
    The amount of water will vary each time.
    Place dough onto flour covered surface.
    Cut dough in half and roll into 2 circles.
    Place in pie plate and fill with your favorite pie filling and bake as directed.
    For a pre-baked pie shell- prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 9-12 minutes at 450.
