Pie Crust

My mother always used Crisco to make pie crusts. This is my version of her recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup vegetable shortening
• ice water

Instructions

1. Stir flour and salt in large bowl until blended.
2. Cut shortening into flour mixture using pastry blender or fork until shortening pieces are the size of peas.
3. Gradually add just enough water, 1 tbsp at a time, stirring with fork just until dough holds together and forms a smooth ball.
4. Divide dough in half and shape into two balls.
5. Chill a minimum of 4 hours.
6. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper or just press directly into pie pan.
