Directions:
Mix flour and salt together, then about 1/2 of the shortening. Work this all in until it is fine as meal (this creates tenderness). Cut in the rest of the shortening until mixture is the size of large peas ( this makes it flaky). Do not over mix: store in a covered container or ziploc bag. It does not need to be refrigerated. For single pie shell, use 1 1/2 C. mix and 2 Tbsp. cold water; mix lightly.
For a 2 crust shell, use 2 3/4 C. mix and 4 Tbsp. cold water.
