Ingredients
  • 1 1/4
    cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/3
    cup shortening
  • 4 - 5
    tablespoons cold water

In a medium bowl stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender cut in shortening until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to side of the bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time, until all flour mixture is moistened. Form dough in ball. On lightly floured surface use hands to slightly flatten dough.
