Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tsp shortening
  • 2/3 cup cold water , as needed

Directions:

  1. Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles fine crumbs with shortening pieces pea size or smaller.
  2. Gradually add cold water. Sprinkle it a Tablespoon or two at a time over mixture and toss with fork. Do this until the dough is just moist enough to form into a ball. The look and feel of the dough is more important than the exact amount of water you use which can vary with the weather. If it's too dry, it will not form a ball. If it's too wet, yuck! You have a sticky mess which will not roll properly. Experience is the best teacher.
  3. Roll into 2 large or 3 small crusts.
  4. Thanks, Mom!
