Flaky Pie Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening, chilled
4 -6 tablespoons ice water

Preparation

Sift flour and salt together into bowl.
Cut chilled shortening into flour until particles are about the size of a pea.
Add just enough water, a tablespoon at a time, to form a dough which will clean the bowl.
Divide into 2 balls of dough.
Roll dough on floured board, fold and refold, and roll again.
Continue until dough is smooth.
Handle quickly but gently.
This crust is good for pre-bake recipes as well as filled pies.
(The main thing to remember-use chilled shortening and ice water.).
