Directions:
In small bowl, put 1/2 c. flour and enough water to mix up a thin paste. In larger bowl, put remaining flour, salt, and shortening. Use a table knife and cut shoutening through flour until it looks like small curds, make it smooth. Then add soft paste mixture and work until you have a large smooth ball. For 2 open-top pies or a couple shells for later use, divide in half and roll down flat and round on a floured flat clean surface. Repeat for 2nd pie or shell. For double crusted pies such as fruit pies, put one portion in pie pan and the other on top. Seal edges by pinching all around edge or pressing with 1/2 inch of the ends of a dinner fork. Be sure to cut some slits in top. For ease of placing in pie pan, fold in half before moving to pan. Good luck.
